Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 930731F1] as a composite 'ciborietyp' baptismal font of the mid-13th century; the basin and stem are made of limestone but the lower base is sandstone; the basin has lost a good section of its upper end. The entry for the old church in Svenska kyrkan [www.svenskakyrkan.se/knista/hidinge-gamla-kyrka] [accessed 23 May 2021] reports that the base of the font was found and returned to the church in the Summer of 1935 [="Fackmännen anser kyrkans äldsta del vara uppförd på slutet av 1100 -talet. Ett bevis för det antagande pekar på sockeln till kyrkans gamla dopfunt, vilken påträffades och återfördes till kyrkan sommaren 1935."]. The medieval composite font is located in the old church. [NB: photographs of the lower base of the medieval font ca. 1930-1940 show painted motifs on the sides; not known when/if they were added]. The present font in use in the new church is modern, and was donated to the new church in 1946.
