Baptismal font made of cast iron in 1502 with a Latin inscription on it naming the date and the donors noted in LEX [https://lex.dk/Sankt_Peders_Kirke_-_Næstved] [accessed 16 April 2026]: ''Døbefonten fra 1502 er støbt af jern. Omkring den skålformede kumme løber der en indskrift på latin, hvis danske oversættelse lyder, ”I Aaret Tusind femhundred og to blev denne Font støbt til Brug ved Dåben; da Olaf var Skovklostrets ikke ringe Forstander, og den gode Jacob var Sognepræst, lod Borgmester Svend af fromt Sind denne forfærdige. Gud vær(e) disse fromme Velynderes Løn”. Font noted also in the entry for this church in the Danish Wikipedia [https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sankt_Peders_Kirke_(Næstved)] [accessed 16 April 2026] dates the choir stalls and the font to the same period: "to rækker korstole fra ca. 1500, en malmdøbefont fra samme tid". [NB: the metal of the font is described variously in different sources: cast iron or bronze].
