Font Notes:
Described in Bilbao (1996). The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 12 June 2021] notes: "Tiene su iglesia dedicada a la Asunción de Nuestra Señora y es gótica [...] La pila es románica, de vaso, con sogueado en borde y base circular escalonada". Described and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico [www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/burgos_VILLALMANZO.pdf] [accessed 12 June 2021]: "La obra más significada es la iglesia parroquial, una construcción gótica del siglo XIV con algunas reformas importantes llevadas a cabo en el XVII. De lo que fuera el templo anterior, seguramente románico, únicamente se conserva una sencilla pila bautismal ubicada en un pequeño habitáculo situado a los pies del templo. Presenta un doble basamento circular de sillería sobre el que asienta directamente una copa de forma troncocónica invertida (90 cm de diámetro × 57 cm de altura) decorada en la embocadura con una moldura sogueada. Pese a su simpleza podemos aventurar una cronología cercana a las postrimerías del siglo XII o a los inicios del XIII." The tub-shaped basin stands on a three-step plinth, the lower part of which is partly buried in the flooring; there is an area of later repair to the upper rim. No cover present. Noted and illlustrated in Valle Barreda (2009). Baptismal font of the Romanesque period; the otherwise plain bucket-shaped basin has a rope moulding at the upper rim; on a wider round base; two-step plinth. At least one of the old cover metal staples is still in the upper rim.
