The entry for this church in the Digitale Bibliotheek voor de Nederlandse Letteren (DBNL) [https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/kuil005prov01_01/kuil005prov01_01_0008.php] [accessed 12 December 2021] reports a probably 16th-century baptismal font of sandstone totally re-shaped ["Zandsteenen doopvont of wijwatervat (XVI A?) hoog 94 cM., met vierkanten voet, ronden stam en achtzijdige kuip, geheel nieuw opgehakt."]. The entry for Denkamp in Monumenten in Nederland. Overijssel [https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/sten009monu03_01/sten009monu03_01.pdf] [accessed 12 December 2021] mentions a late-medieval baptismal font made of sandstone in this church. Pol Herman provides the following sources in an e-mail (3 December 2021) to BSI: 1)There must have been a church in Denekamp as early as 1276, because then there is talk of a plebanus de Demnichem. During the Reformation (1633) the church passed into the hands of the Protestants. In 1809, king Louis Napoleon, however assigned her to the Roman Catholic parish, which was much larger. 2)Source : Twente,, E.H. ter Kuile, Gijsbers & Van Loon, Arnhem 1971. Sandstone baptismal font or holy water font (XVI A?) high 94 cm., with square foot, round column and eight-sided basin, completely newly chiselled. 3)Source : Voorloopige lijst der Nederlandsche monumenten van geschiedenis en kunst. Deel VII. De provincie Overijssel, Algemeene Landsdrukkerij, Den Haag / A. Oosthoek, Utrecht 1923. The Roman Catholic Church (H. Nicholas), XIII c built, XV b renovated: baptismal font (XV) of Bentheimer stone, currently in use as a holy water font. Pol Herman adds: "If this font is from the late middle ages, as sources state, then it has been totally remodelled later."
