Font Notes:
One of two late-medieval (?) fonts in this church; this one consists of a roughly hemispherical basin [or is it oval?] on a round pedestal base; there is evidence of metal plugs in the upper rim of the basin; otherwise totally plain. There is a smaller non-constructional basin insert in it [NB: confirmed by Joost Limburg that it is so]
