Noted in Kees de Wildt's Doopvont de Beeldenstorm (2018: 114-120) as possibly 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 church was destroyed in 1918, in WWI. [NB: we have no information on the date / period of the font destroyed(?) in the mid-16th century riots or in WWI].
