Church Notes: the carving on the south portal here said to be related to those at Almendres and Miñón de Santibáñez -- an inscription in the portal arches: "IN NOMINO / DOMINI: / NOSTRI: / IHES(U): X(RIST)I: / (IS)TA ECCL/ESIA : CLA/MANT: S(AN)C(T)I ANDR(AE) / ERA: M: /CC: XIIII / (IS)TE PORTAL /FECIT" PETR/US DA EGA / IHOHANES / MICAEL". Que vendría a traducirse como algo así: "En el nombre de nuestro señor Jesucristo. A esta Iglesia la llaman de San Andrés. En la era de 1214 (año 1176). Este portal hicieron Pedro de Ega y Juan Miguel". [source: www.arteguias.com/iglesia/sotodebureba.htm] [accessed 23 July 2020]]

Described and illustrated in Bilbao (1996) as a child's sarcophagus re-used as a baptismal font. It rests on an elevated rectangular plinth. No mention of this object found in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla y León (2002- ). García de Castro Valdés (2000) reports medieval quadrangular fonts in Spain at Beloncio, Bullaso, San Isidoro de Leon, Villanueva de Valdecarzana (suggested date in the 11th century); Armentia, Bustasur, Dosante, Gormaz, Quintanillabon, Rosales, Santillan del Agua, Soto de Bureba (suggested date in the 12th or 13th century); Ripodas and Turrillas (suggested date in the 13th century). The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 8 December 2021] notes: "Considerada una de las joyas de nuestro románico y declarada B.I.C. en 1981, su iglesia está dedicada a San Andrés, Apósto l [...] Su ábside es románico, semicircular, con imposta corrida ajedrezada, ventanal cegado con fustes y capiteles historiados, columnas hasta el alero y canes decorados. La portada es románica, con fustes estriados, capiteles y tres arquivoltas con signos del zodíaco, diferentes figuras y leyenda en sentido longitudinal y guardapolvos. Hay una inscripción del año 1175 [...] Es de discípulos del segundo artista de Silos, Pedro de Ega y Juan Miguélez [...] La pila es poligonal, lisa". [NB: photographs of the object mentioned above taken in November 2021 [cf. ImagesArea] show it disused outside; the outer chapel now a vacant space -- we have no images or details of the font in use here
