Font Notes:
Described and illustrated in Catalunya romànica (1984- , vol. IV: 365): a low semi-circular step-like protrusion of the façade appears to be all that is left of a fromer baptismal font which may or may not be originally from this church; it appears to correspond to the upper basin part of the font and has a broad flat moulding all around the surviving part; below the moulding is a faint pattern of four-strand interlace of geometric design; the remains of the basin are broken up into several parts held together by concrete or mortar.
