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 Flanders, later in France) having been desecrated, damaged or destroyed during the Iconoclastic Fury of 1566. [NB: we have no further information on the early font and assume that it was destroyed either 1577 or in 1918, in WWI, when the whole church was destroyed].
