Font Notes:
Noted and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla-La Mancha: Guadalajara (2009) as a limestone baptismal font probably of the 12th century, somewhat similar to other fonts of the same period in the province at Almiruete, Bustares and Olmeda de Cobeta, and to a later font at Miedes de Atienza. The round tapering basin has a faint moulding at the upper rim, with two rows of scallop motif , one large, one small, below; the sides and underbowl are covered in a ribbed pattern. A hole (holes?) has been drilled on the sides of the basin, below the rim, probably as part of the locking system of the font cover. [NB: no information provided on the base]
