In its entry for this locality the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla y León (2002- ) illustrates a font in the nave of the church, but it is not mentioned in the text of the entry; if the drawing is correct it appears to belong to the Romanesque type in the areas of Burgos and Palencia. The baptismal font, located in a south chapel consists of a roughly hemispherical basin raised on a circular moulded base; the outer surface of the basin appears to be disintegrating and so does the base; the upper rim of the basin retains two metal staples from an old cover; the present cover, round, flat and plain appears modern.
