Font Notes:
Listed in Bilbao (1996.) as a baptismal font of the Romanesque period. The Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla y León (2002- ), however, dates it to the Gothic period or later; the octagonal basin has irregular sides ornamented with a rope motif at the upper end; at the upper rim, four saltire crosses; octagonal base also ornamented with four such crosses: "Pese a que se haya considerado como románica, la pila
bautismal conservada en la estancia adosada al muro septentrional –junto a la torre– es plenamente gótica, si no posterior, y presenta copa facetada de ocho lados con decoración de cordón anudado en su embocadura. Su base, poligonal, se orna con cruces de San Andrés."
