Noted in Valle Barreda (2009) as a baptismal font of the Romanesque period; the round basin is plain but for a roll moulding at the upper rim. Noted and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/burgos_PUENTEDURA.pdf] [accessed 3 March 2023] as a crude font, probably Romanesque: "una tosca y sencilla pila bautismal, posiblemente románica, que está formada por una amplia copa, de 119 cm de diámetro y 93 cm de altura, completamente lisa, salvo en la embocadura donde muestra la característica moldura abocelada. Apoya sobre una basa con doble toro." The present Ermita de San Millán, noted in the same entry of the Enciclopedia..., may have been originally a monastery church here. The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 29 May 2022] mentions two fonts in it: one is the same font listed in the Enciclopedia [cf. supra]; the other is a Romanesque font decorated with an arcade, a font that, as the author suggests, may be from elsewhere: "La pila es románica con arcos en relieve y pie cilíndrico, aunque quizá no sea éste su origen. Tiene otra lisa, tipo vaso, con molduras." No cover present but there is evidence on the upper rim of anchorings and plugs from an old cover. [NB: when Pedro Novella visited the church on 25 May 2022, and photographed the interior for BSI, he did not see a second font in it].
