Baptismal font listed and illustrated in BALaT KIK-IRPA [https://balat.kikirpa.be/object/10025910] [accessed 19 January 2024]: "fonts baptismaux [...] pierre [...] Date: 1101 - 1300 [...] hauteur: 103 cm [...] avec couvercle [laiton] fin 19e".
A communication to BSI from Pol Herman (e-mail of 29 July 2023) notes: "Only the basin is original. [...] KIK-IRPA dating : 1101-1300 but personally I would suggest second half of the 13th century. Difficult, no real comparison with similar font."
