Font Notes:
Noted and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla-La Mancha: Guadalajara (2009). The round basin is plain raised on a rectangular striated stem. This source suggests a date in the 16th or 17th century, rather than the original date of the fabric of the church, the 13th: "En el espacio del baptisterio, en la panda sur, se encuentra su pila bautismal, de pobre factura, cuya copa tiene la superficie totalmente lisa, muy tosca y con pie rectangular y estriado, posiblemente de la primera época de la ampliación". [NB: we have no information on the earlier font of this church]
