Interior of the church sanctuary, Wijckel, Friesland. One can see that Jentie Jeppes and his family of five would have definitely been well known in a congregation that appears to have numbered less than 100. Most likely the 1659 and 1660 baptisms of Garret and Evert Van Wickelen took place in this room.
