A fragment of a Romanesque (12th-13thC?) baptismal font found here in 1979 was reported in Graas, T. G. M. Graas' Van bos tot stad. Opgravingen in ’s-Hertogenbosch, Voorwerpen uit natuursteen: doopvont en wijwaterbak uit Engelen,(1983: p. 303-306): "En 1979, des fouilles près de l'église ont trouvé un fragment de pierre naturelle, qui fait probablement partie des grands fonts baptismaux qui se trouvaient dans l'ancienne église. Cette cuve daterait du treizième, selon les chercheurs, peut-être même le douzième siècle." Described and illustrated with a drawing reconstruction by J.E. Dilz in Frans Vergaeghe's Stadsarcheologie: wat, waarom en wat nu? [Engelen.pdf] [accessed 22 December 2021]. The reconstruction shows a rounded tapering basin with human heads set at 90-degree angles and a vine with tendrils and fruit all around the sides, part of which is the surviving fragment; raised on a broad central shaft and four detached angle colonnettes, on a square lower base.
