Baptismal font described and illustrated in Werner Stalder's Taufstein in Till mit Masken [https://rp-online.de/nrw/staedte/kleve/in-der-rp-serie-ueber-taufsteine-wird-der-in-till-moyland-vorgestellt_aid-47317353] [accessed 30 January 2022]; here is a brief summary of the original German-language content: The old baptismal font in Saint Vincent's Church is dated around 1200 and is carved in bluestone [...] The baptismal font in St. Vincentius Church was in Till before today's church was built. By 1200 it was already in a previous church. The old baptismal font is carved from bluestone, which comes from Namur. It is certain that it came to Till from the Ardennes as a finished basin. It has a height of 84 centimeters. The wide, round basin with four corner masks, three of which have been partially completed, and flat mask reliefs on the side surfaces, rests on a round cylindrical column and four corner pillars. Jan Kellendonk from Bedburg-Hau, who dealt with the font in 2010, discovered that a stone has a strange sheen.
