Listed in Glesius (2013) as a baptismal font remaining from the late-Medieval period in this chapel. An article in the 12 September 2023 edition of Wochenspiegel [https://www.wochenspiegelonline.de/news/detail/st-willibrord-kapelle-feiert-500-geburtstag] [accessed 21 June 2024] mentions evidence of an earlier church building of the 14th century ["Hinweise auf Vorgängerbau aus dem 14. Jahrhunder"] [NB: perhaps the font in the present churchyard was originally from that building]. The object is tub-shaped and much eroded to show any decoration it may have had originally; on a squate and wide base.
