Font Notes:
Described in Layna Serrano (2001 c1969) as a Romanesque font. A baptismal font of much later date than the Romanesque fabric of the church itself is illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla-La Mancha: Guadalajara (2009); the basin is round, with a moulded upper rim and concave ribbing on the sides, raised on a slender round stem with fluted pattern on the sides; it is damaged at the upper rim, but retains the two staples of the old cover. [NB: we have no other reference to the Romanesque font of this church].
