The entry for this church in Rijksmonument [ref.: 530838] reports a 16th-century stone font in a recessed area of the baptistery. An article by Soest (A.L. van) en M.J. Janssen, De doopvont van Overloon, Taxandria, 1894: 229 [https://onsthuus.nl/files/onsthuus.nl/uploads/files/713093/DE DOOPVONT TE OVERLOON.pdf] with partial contents identified as "Taxandria, 1894 / MH." provides some information about an object used as baptismal font but being a re-cycled holy-water stoup of unknown origin; the basin is heptagonal in outer shape but the pedestal base is octagonal-to-square, which looks like an awkward fit; there is a long Latin inscription on its side the author(?) of the piece appears to question whether Overloon had baptismal rights at the time, and that it was only in the 16th century that the village acquired parochial status and rights. The entry for Overloon in Anton van Oirschott's Encyclopedie van Noord Brabant [https://www.google.ca/search?q=Overloon+kerk+doopvont&sxsrf=AOaemvL19dSpU7SB8lgwPy6wM41Uyd1Rkg%3A1635716546463&ei=wg1_YZDcG4CP9PwPhsW6CA&oq=Overloon+kerk+doopvont&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAM6BwgjELADECdKBAhBGAFQxrcXWPPDF2CwxhdoAXAAeACAAXyIAdkGkgEDMS43mAEAoAEByAEBwAEB&sclient=gws-wiz&ved=0ahUKEwiQxdH9zvXzAhWAB50JHYaiDgEQ4dUDCA0&uact=5] [accessed 31 October 2021] notes that an early-15th century church must have existed here, of which an octagonal baptismal font [cf. supra] has survived in the new 1911 church dedicated to St. Theobaldus.
