Church Notes: present church 18thC
Illustrated in Calderón Escalada (1971: p. between 40-41) as a baptismal font of the Romanesque period. Described in Garcia Guinea (1979: 290) and (1996: 61). Baptismal font of stone consisting of a roughly hemispherical basin ornamented with concave ribbed pattern with inserts in the bottom of the flutes; a roll moulding appears to be part of the underbowl; on a cylindrical pedestal base [NB: the base, or a part of it, appears to be a replacement]. No cover present. The font is now [ca. 2020] located in the southeast corner of the nave, by the right [south] pillar of the chancel arch, obviously not its original location.
