Noted in Hallbäck (1969) as a baptismal font made of Gotland sandstone [cf. infra] in the late-13th century. Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 920504F3] as a 'ciborietyp' baptismal font made of limestone [cf. supra] in the mid-13th century. The entry for this church in Kringla [https://kringla.nu/kringla/objekt;jsessionid=1DFE37CE5A812F5AB6523BDDFCE50FD4?referens=raa/bbrb/21420000038058] [accessed 8 May 2021] mentions one font of Gotland limestone in it: "Dopfunt av gotländsk kalksten, rosa kulör." No cover present. [NB: a series of earlier photographs [cf. ImagesArea] show three fonts inside this church: 1)the present one, as described in the sources above; 2)a modern one, octagonal in shape; probably installed when the new church was consecrated in 1831; and 3)a medieval or late-medieval stone font consisting of a round, tub-like basin on a round pedestal base -- we have no information on the other two fonts or their whereabouts].
