A font here is noted in Kees de Wildt's Doopvont de Beeldenstorm (2018: 114-120) as one of a number of baptismal fonts of the Westerkwartier (then part of Fl;anders, later in France) having been desecrated, damaged or destroyed during the Iconoclastic Fury of 1566. [NB: we have no further information on the destroyed(?) font].
