Noted and illustrated in Danmarks Kirker [www.danmarks-kirker.dk/helsingor/flong_hel.htm] [accessed 22 December 2017]. Noted and illustrated in [https://www.floengkirke.dk/kirken-og-sognet/kirken/floeng-kirkes-historie/] [accessed 22 December 2017]: "Fløng Kirkes romanske døbefont af granit stammer fra 1100-tallet, og menes at være lige så gammel som Fløng Kirke. Dåbsfadet er fra 1753 og af tin ligesom dåbskanden. Døbefonten var tidligere udstyret med et udskåret låg af træ. Det hænger nu under prædikestolen." The font consists of a round slightly tapering basin of reddish granite decorated with a single rope moulding at the upper rim; round splaying base of a lighter-coloured granite, and probably a later replacement of the original base, decorated with a roll moulding atop. No cover present [the wooden cover referred to above no longer used on the font; mid-18th century metal baptismal dish now in use.
