Wever / Wevere

The entry for the new (mid-19th century) church in Wever in the Belgian Wikipedia [https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sint-Antoniuskerk_(Wever)] [accessed 5 May 2024] reports a baptismal font of the 17th century in it ["Uit het begin van de 17e eeuw is het doopvont"]. The entry for this church in Alex Laermans (2007) [https://www.kerkglabbeek.be/kerken-en-kapelletjes-wever-sint-antoniuskerk] [accessed 5 May 2024] notes that Wauters had mentioned some sculpted heads he believed belonged to an old baptismal font here ["Op dat kerkhof had Wouters [sic] nog oude grafstenen en enkele gebeeldhouwde koppen, die volgens hem toehoorden aan de oude doopvont, aangetroffen"]. Wauters (1882) mentions that one could see sculpted human heads, parts of a baptismal font, kept in the presbytery, fragments that came from the old church that was demolished in 1862. A communication to BSI from Pol Herman (e-mail of 22 March 2024) includes the Wauters reference above, but he could not find any trace of those fragments. Pol Herman further also refers to an exchange with a local source, Staf Vandegaer, Collectiebeheer, Heemkundige Kring Glabbeek vzw, Bunsbeekdorp 4A, 3380 Bunsbeek, who "informed me that the church received a new font in 1842, donated by the baron Deman."
