The baptismal font in this church, located by the west entranceway appears to be one of the Bentheimer sandstone workshops, a round quasi-cyilindrical basin decorated with some of the characteristic patterns of the group, in this case a double rope moulding, the band of fan-frieze and the four couchant lions of the base; it would be comparable to those classed in Drake (2002) and others as "Type Berge I", but there is something irregular about it: it is too short and lacks the vine that usually goes above the fan-frieze pattern. It appears that this font may have been originally one of the said type but lost part of the upper basin sides, likely through damage to the upper rim, and was trimmed leaving the rest of the decoration intact [NB: we have not yet had the chance to take its measurements and compare it to others of the group]. Not mentioned in Drake (2002)
