Click to view
No entry for the Varv font found in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld. The baptismal font in the new Varv och Styra kyrka may be from the old church in Varv, demolished in 1861; it consists of a round basin raised on a quadrangular pedestal base with a single moulding in the middle, and square lower base; could be partly made of sandstone but it looks like a compund, made-up font. [NB: we have no information on the font of the medieval church here].
