Scene Description: the top of the font is visible at the right-hand corner of the chancel arch (not its original liocation) -- notice the small window above the chancel arch, probably a survival of the Mozarabic church here

Miguel Vigil (1987 c1887: 599) mentions the parish in his listing of those in the Concejo de Villaviciosa but not the church or the font. Described and illustrated in García de Castro (1995: 244 and pl. 162): tub-shaped sandstone basin ornamented with a double-rope motif; this font may have been originally from the disappeared church of San Zaornín [Zadornin in Miguel Vigil (op. cit.)] in the 19th century; this last church was consecrated in 1018 AD. The font is now raised on a modern quadrangular base. Described in Alvarez Martínez (1999: 265) as one in a group of barrel-shaped fonts dated to the 9th-11th century of the same design type as the later font originally from the church of San Pedro in Villanueva now kept at the Museo Arqueológico Nacional in Madrid.
