Verdronken Hannekenswerve: een kruiskerk onder een dijk (verhaal Erfgoed Zeeland) [https://www.zeeuwseankers.nl/verhaal/verdronken-hannekenswerve-een-kruiskerk-onder-een-dijk] [accessed 10 November 2021] reports on the excavations in the former site of the disappeared church of Hannekenswerve, a church that may have been dated as early as the mid-12th century, built in part using stone from a nearby Roman fort. Pol Herman, in a communication to BSI (e-mail of 9 November 2021) informs: "Through the mediation of J. van den Berg, the museum obtained the fragment of a natural stone baptismal font excavated during the archaeological investigation of the church of Hannekenswerve in 1964 (the donor wished to remain unknown)." [source: Nehalennia (1993: 8 juli 1993, p. 21)]. [NB: Pol Herman has asked the Museum for a photograph of the fragment]
