Described in Bilbao (1996) and in Valle Barredo (2009). Baptismal font of the Romanesque period; the basin is ornamented with a vine below the rim, and a blind arcade of round arches below; plain base. Nebredo's Amo a mi pueblo… [https://www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 6 April 2023] notes a rural church as well as the parish church itself: "La iglesia solamente se utiliza el día de la fiesta. Hay en el pueblo una ermita, dedicada a la Virgen, con espadaña y campanillo, que hace las veces de parroquia", but only the font in the former [cf. BSI entry for Tanabueyes… No. 1]
