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. Palissy [ref,: PM62004975] lists a 19th-century wall-mounted stoup in this church: "Bénitier encastré dans le mur, en forme de coquille [...] 19e siècle [...] A droite en entrant dans l'église", but not a baptismal font. The whereabouts of the Gothic font not known; it was probably destroyed.
