Pol Herman informs (e-mail of 10 November 2021 to BSI ): "In the church of Kijfhoek, there is a Mosan gothic limestone base, on which the pulpit
rested. Now the two have been separated and a new recent basin has been fitted." Pol Herman (ibid.) mentions that there are conflicting sources about a font here. One of them notes: " It is worth mentioning that the pulpit of the church of Kijfhoek rested, until the twentieth century, on the stone base of a baptismal font. According to a description from 1915, the basin of the church of Kijfhoek was found in a neighboring farm, where it served as a trough. The baptismal font may have been broken in two during the iconoclasm. However, it seems that during the Second World War a priest discovered this baptismal font in the Roman Catholic Church in Papendrecht. In any case, until the restoration, a forged ring hung from the pulpit in the Kijfhoek Church with a tin plate that served as a baptismal font. However, the stone base has now been given a new stone baptismal basin, designed by Fred Tuinman and manufactured in 1993, with the inscription: "One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 1993".
