A communication to BSI from Pol Herman (e-mail of 20 November 2022) included a reference to a YouTube video Doopfont stolp Vouecourt.WMV [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1svsuwnhxY] [accessed 5 October 2023] that shows the replacement of an old wooden font cover by one made of leaded glass on the stone baptismal font; the font itself appears monolithic and made of stone, octagonal in shape with a tapering in base. The old cover appeared damaged before its replacement.
Credit and Acknowledgements: We are grateful to Pol Herman for bringing this font to our attention and for his help in documenting it
