Antonio Rubion Salan's Breve Notici\a de Villalcazar de Sirga y de su Templo (1952) [https://dialnet.unirioja.es/descarga/articulo/2485849.pdf] [accessed 12 August 2019] states that this church was started in 1274; in 1664 the church was donated to the diocese by the counts, and the baptismal font from the parish church of San Pedro was moved into Santa Maria la Blanca. The same source mentions a holy-water stoup raised on a capital inside the church, by the main entrance. Martin Gonzalez (1977) mentions a 16th-century baptismal font in this church. The font consists of a hemispherical basin decorated with ribbed pattern, raised on a short round-to-square base, and it is of that date. There is no cover present now but the upper rim retains one of the metal staples of an old cover.
