The Enciclopedia del románico en Castilla-La Mancha: Guadalajara (2009) mentions a holy-water stoup fashioned out of the base of a column from the entrance of this church; it remarks on a somewhat similar object originally from Ujedas but now kept in the Museo Diocesano de Sigüenza [cf. Index entry]. [NB: there is no mention of a baptismal font in this church in this source]
