The font in this church is modern, but there is an object now used as holy-water stoup inside the church, that may be medieval, not originally a font, though. The Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla-La Mancha: Guadalajara (2009) mentions neither of them [NB: this source mentions the ruins of a church nearby, San Pedro de Sever, perhaps also of the Romanesque period and built by the same hands as Escopete’s. There is no trace of an early font there either].
