No font listed in BALaT KIK-IRPA entry for this church. A communication to BSI from Pol Herman (e-mail of 25 June 2024) informs: "The village of Burst is mentioned for the first time in 1042 as Burste. In a charter of the Saint Martin’s abbey of Gent, it is described as “Bursitia juxta fluviolum Burste”. This river must be the present Molenbeek (Mill Brook). The church of Burst is mentioned for the first time in 1117. I was a property of the abbey of Vorst. The church was badly damaged during the Iconoclastic Fury by the Calvinists in 1580/1582. A new baptismal font was installed in 1601. The old church was demolished in 1852, at which time a new font was installed. There is no trace of older fonts." The modern font and its cover are located in the chancel of the present church.
