A baptismal font made of limestone probably of the 17th century is reported in this church in the corresponding entry in Reliwiki [https://reliwiki.nl/index.php/Nunhem,_Kerkstraat_18_-_Servatius] [accessed 27 December 2021]; it has a wooden cover. [NB: problem here: the information we have received from Pol Herman and what is available in Reliwki refer to a limestone font with a wooden vover but the font shown in an interior photograph of the church https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Interieur_overzicht_naar_het_oosten_-_Nunhem_-_20300877_-_RCE.jpg [accessed 27 December 2021] shows a brass font on a pedestal stone base -- a later communication from Pol Herman (e-mail of 29 December 2021) reports: "Jean-Peter Adams from the local historical society is certain that the old bluestone font was removed by Nunhem pastor Frans Neuss between 1952 and 1974. However, the only font in the church now is a brass font, given in 1959 as a present by pastor Vervoort from Oirlo. 1959 could be an acceptable date for the metal font, but no confirmation can be found in local archives. Neither can they find a picture of this bluestone font in them.
