Noted in Hallbäck (1962) . Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 920614F1] as a baptismal font made of sandstone in the late-12th century by a regional workshop. The font appears to be irregular and monolithic, although of two defined volumes: a roughly hemispherical basin and a round base; the basin is decorated with a roll moulding at the upper rim with a band of round arch-heads below; a single fleur-de-lis or plant [Tree of Life?] is carved on one side; raised edge below; roll moulding at the 'neck' between the two volumes; a modern lower base or plinth has been added to give height to the medieval font. No cover present. [NB: the medieval font is said to have been until the 1963 restoration beneath the pulpit; then moved to the south side; originally it would have been at the west end of the )
