The Oldeberkoop site [https://www.oldeberkoop.nl/recreatieatoerisme/monumentale-panden-oldeberkoop/kerk] [accessed 26 December 2021] reports a medieval baptismal font in the church. The entry in the Beeldende Kerkenvisie [https://www.kerkenvisieonline.nl/bekijk-de-kerken/oldeberkoop-bonifatiuskerk/] [accessed 26 December 2021] date the font to the 14th-century. The basin has a few mouldings below the wide restored rim; the stem is chamfered on the upper parts leaving the fottom square, which looks odd as it is fitted into a round lower base. The modern metal insert in the shape of a ball is probably used not to hold the baptismal water.
