Listed in Martín González (1970: 310) as a baptismal font dated 1560 by an inscription, and ornamented with ribbed pattern. Some particulars of this font and its subsequent move to its present location in a parish church of the city of Valladolid are given in Los viajes de Tomasa [https://losviajesdetomasa.wordpress.com/2020/05/16/valviadero-un-despoblado-con-mejor-final-que-el-de-ordono-y-castrejon/] [accessed 23 May 2025]: "También tiene un nuevo alojamiento su pila bautismal, que continua sirviendo al clero en la moderna parroquia del Cristo Redentor, en el barrio de Parquesol de Valladolid, desde el 2015, aunque salió de Valviadero en 2012. Está labrada en granito, sin decoración, aunque después de una limpieza que ha hecho que parezca más nueva de lo que es, se puede leer la siguiente inscripción:
“ESTA PILA SE HIZO SIENDO CVRA EL MVI R[EVEREN]DO S[EÑ]OR IVAN DE PALMA I MAIORDOMO SANCHO A[LONS]O I560 AÑ[OS]”."
