A medieval baptismal font basin here is noted in Hallbäck (1969). Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 920825F1] as the basin of a medieval font made of granite ca. 1200; the SHM entry cites Hallbäck [cf. supra] and notes that the basin had been broken up but the pieces have been cemented together and re located in the Hallands läns museum, in Halmstad. The present font in this church was made of ceramic by Erik Nilsson in 1931.
