Font Notes:
The Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla-La Mancha: Guadalajara (2009) notes a baptismal font in this church, not the original Romanesque font, but of a later date: a round basin decorated with a roll moulding all around its middle, raised on a plain round pedestal base: "pila bautismal, no original románica, sino una adaptación de otra época posterior, muy simple, con fuste estrecho y superficie de la copa con forma
geométrica que se recorre por un grueso cordón horizontal en su parte central." [NB: we have no information on the font of the original Romanesque church here].
