Listed in Guerra (1986 c1978) as an immersion baptismal font of the Romanesque period. Valle Barreda (2009) reports a baptismal font of the Romanesque period in this church, originally from the Ermita de Santa Marina de Revilla. On-site notes: large unmounted basin stands on its side; there is a large vertical crack on the basin; the sides appear ornamented with an arcade of narrow arches that perhaps framed standing figures (?) but it is too eroded to discern the details. Hinges evident in the rim; currently [29 May 1999] under repair; said to be originally from a nearby rural chapel known as Ermita de Santa Marina de Revilla. [NB: the font is recorded as being displayed inside the in 2014 [cf. Images Area]]
