Noted in the municipality website [www.losvillaresdesoria.es] as a baptismal font of the Romanesque period; plain basin on a plain circular base. List as a Romanesque font in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/soria_LA_RUBIA.pdf] [accessed 5 September 2025]: "Bajo el coro se habilitó un pequeño habitáculo como baptisterio donde se guarda una pila bautismal lisa apoyada sobre un basamento circular de piedra que aparece semienterrado en el pavimento. Pese a la ausencia de decoración, su forma y tipo de talla denotan una cronología románica que como en el caso de la portada debe rondar los últimos años del siglo XII."
