Font Notes:
We have unconfirmed information about a baptismal font of the 13th century in this church. There is no mention of the font in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla-La Mancha: Cuenca (2009) entry for this village, but it includes an illustration of a holy-water stoup consisting of a relatively shallow round basin with large leaves on the underbowl, raised on a moulded pedestal base and round-to-square lower base with crouching quadrupeds on it; the basin appears medieval, but the base is later [no separate listing for the stoup in BSI]
