Click to view
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. The present font in this church is of a type common in France, a style of font used from the 16th through the 18th century. [NB: we have no information on the font of the medieval church here; perhaps it was the one destroyed in the Iconoclastic Fury riots noted in the source above].
