The Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla y León (2002- ) notes two fonts in this church: a 16th-century font now in use inside the church, and an older one of which only the basin remains, now raised on an carved piece of the 17th or 18th century and kept in the porch. The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 6 April 2022] mentions only one font: "La pila es renacentista con borde moldurado y estrías y base cónica moldurada".
