Click to view
One of two baptismal fonts in this church now. The font appears in ca. 1900 photographs already badly damaged, and is now [2020] disused in the church. It consists of a plain cylindrical basin raised on a moulded round base. No font cover present. [NB: one of the two fonts may have originated in the other medieval church at Gökhem, a farm (?) church located about 170 m. from the present parish church; it is said to have been abandoned in the mid-16th century]
