Romanesque 12th-century font from the Lower Rhine-Maasland made of Naumur bluestone, with heads on its corners and beasts on its sides. As a mendicant church, it originally had no font but after it became a Congregational church this font was kindly provided by the SchnΓΌtgen Museum.

Devil’s door Blocked-up door in the north wall of a church, once believed to have been an escape route for the Devil when he left a child as a result of the sacrament of baptism.

Seems as much that with ritual changes with the Book of Common Prayer a north door was no longer generally necessary and so often closed for practical reasons?
