The present font in this church is modern, installed in the 1976 renovation of the church, as illustrated in Gottesdienst in einer Kirche auf der Landschaft gegen Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts [MH_HVF_030-2001.pdf] [accessed 11 January 2024]. A sketch of an earlier font here appeared in Ludwig and Emil Schulthess, 'Kirchen & kirchliche Altertümer im Kanton Zürich' of 1843 [https://www.e-manuscripta.ch/zuzneb/content/zoom/1614352] [accessed 11 January 2024].
