Listed and illustrated in Deutsches Inschriften Online [https://www.inschriften.net/hildesheim-landkreis/inschrift/nr/di088-0164.html] [DI 88: Landkreis Hildesheim (2014) Nr. 164] [accessed 3 September 2022] as a baptisal font originally from St. Adrians-Kapelle, in Störy, that was replaced by a baptismal angel and discarded into the church garden; in 1956 it was moved to Lamspringe St. Sophien and restored; its inscription is unfortunately illegible: "Taufe. Stein. Ursprünglicher Standort war die ev. St. Adrians-Kapelle in Störy. Als die dortige Kirche 1722 neu gebaut wurde, ersetzte man den Taufstein durch einen Taufengel, und der Taufstein wurde nach Hary in den Pfarrgarten ausgelagert, bis er 1956 nach Lamspringe verschenkt wurde. Die Taufe besteht aus einem erneuerten achteckigen Schaft und einem runden Becken. Die erhaben ausgeführte Inschrift verläuft am oberen Rand des Beckens über etwa zwei Drittel des Umfangs. Wenn die Inschrift überhaupt alt ist, war sie wahrscheinlich schon ursprünglich unprofessionell gehauen. Sicher ist sie später durch Verwitterung stark beeinträchtigt und durch Überarbeitung dann so entstellt worden, dass keine sinnvolle Lesung möglich ist. Maße: H.: 89,5 cm; Dm.: 71,5 cm; Bu.: 5 cm.
