Font Notes:
One of three fonts in this church. It consists of a polygonal basin with plain vertical sides, a short round stem and a large roughly cylindrical base as wide as the basin, decorated with a single round moulding at the top of the lower base; this part could have been a font basin nnow used upside-down. This font has the appearance of a composite object and it mounted on the bottom stairs of the entranceway, where it serves now as holy-water stoup. No cover present. [cf. BSI entries for Grudziadz No. 2 and No. 3 for the other two objects listed for this church]
