Noted in Sauerman (1904) as similar to the fonts at Höjer, Boisheim and Born. The font here is described and illustrated in Burkhard Brücker's Das Taufbecken von Hönnepel und das Denken der Menschen im frühen Mittelalter [https://hoennepel.de/Taufbecken.htm] [accessed 21 November 2021] as a font made of 'Namur Basalt' [sic] in the 12th century, probably the original one in the parish here that was documented ca. 1206; originally beneath the tower it was left outside in the churchyard, but later moved again inside the church to a 19th-century aisle chapel at the west; it consists of a round tapering basin raised on a broad central shaft and four outer colonnettes; there appears to have been some modification made to the basin
