Described in Bilbao (1996: 295 et al.) The entry for this church in the Enciclopedia del Románico en Castilla y León (2002- , vol. IV: 2881) [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/burgos_TORREGALINDO.pdf] [accessed 6 April 2023] notes and illustrates the baptismal font: "podemos considerar románica a la pila bautismal, una pieza tallada en caliza que se encuentra en un arcosolio abierto en el primer tramo de la nave, en el muro de la epístola. Tienen forma de copa, con una altura de 93 cm y un diámetro de 118 cm, con pie facetado, más ancho en la base, y copa de gruesos gallones con una cenefa de bezantes en la embocadura. Una serie de pequeñas cabecitas humanas pende de esta cenefa, ocupando los espacios entre gallones, lo que la emparenta con los ejemplares de Hontangas, Corcos (conservada ahora en Fuentelisendo) y Moradillo de Roa." The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 6 April 2023] notes: "La pila es románica con bordes de rosetas y gallones, pie cónico y base circular". The large basin has twelve very broad and prominent ribs in the upper interstices of which are placed eleven human heads and one snail; on splaying dodecagonal (?) pedestal base; plain and perhaps of a later date. On-site notes: iron staples from the old cover still evident in the upper basin rim; no font cover present.
