The Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla-La Mancha: Guadalajara (2009) gives the fonts of Berninches (Despoblado de La Golosa), Tobillos, Ventosa and Chiloeches, in the same province, as cognates [NB: the Enciclopedia… does not have en entry for Chiloeches; its font is mentioned in the context of the entry for Berninches]. The Parish website [http://www.chiloeches.org/parroquia.html] [accessed 10 March 2010] notes a baptismal font inside the baptismal chapel at the west end of the nave; the church itself is described as dating from ca. 1610, so it must be from an earlier church or another location.
