[NB: for the font originally found in the gardens of this mansion cf. BSI entry for Härjevad] -- the medieval font that was located for many years (?) in the mansion gardens may have originally been the font of the medieval church at Mårby, a church of which no visible trace remains ; later, in the mid-18th century, a new church was built southwest of Hornborgasjön for both Mårby and Hånger, possibly using some of the materials from the old church [on information from the Riksantikvarieämbetet [http://www.bebyggelseregistret.raa.se/bbr2/anlaggning/visaHelaHistoriken.raa;jsessionid=9A915F48CF6328901F237CB9CA09F0AD?anlaggningId=21300000002081&historikId=21000000530634] [accessed 2 March 2020]
