The entry for this church in Wikipedia [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorfkirche_Moisall] [accessed 10 August 2023] reports that the medieval stone font is kept outside by the west side of the church since 2003, when it was returned to the church ["Auf der Westseite der Kirche, vor dem Turm, befindet sich ein romanisches Taufbecken aus dem 13. Jahrhundert, sicherlich das mit Abstand älteste bewegliche Stück der gesamten Anlage. Es wurde erst 2003 wieder an seinen ursprünglichen Platz gesetzt."] [NB: the source may be Georg Dehio's Handbuch der Deutschen Kunstdenkmäler. Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. 2. Auflage (Berlin/München: Deutscher Kunstverlag, 2016): 376–377]
