Click to view
The present baptismal font in this re-built church is modern, made by J. Stoffeyn in 1934 -- it is 100.5 cm tall and 99.5 cm broad -- the font is in a style reminiscent of the medieval table-top fonts in the area and has Biblical scenes on the basin sides: Baptism of Christ, Temptation and Fall and Christ's Passion [NB: there is also a plater replica of a somewhat similar font, probably of an original font by J. Soffeyn in 1934]
