La portada es gótica con tímpano liso y la torre es rectangular, tipo popular de madera con dos campanas y dos campanillos.la pila es románica con decoración geométrica y bordes". Described and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico [www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/COVARRUBIAS.pdf] [accessed 19 June 2021]: "Románica es la pila bautismal, una delicada pieza hecha en caliza, de 122 cm de diámetro y 91,5 cm de altura, en forma de copa, con vaso semiesférico decora do con bocel en la embocadura, bajo el que se disponen dos cenefas de escudetes en relieve y después tres listeles lisos. El pie es circular y estriado, con somera decoraciónde zigzag." Noted and illustrated in Valle Barreda (2009).
