Carrasco Terriza et al. (2006) refers to the second visit by Juan de Palafox y Cardona, archbishop of Seville, to this church in 1692, at which time he ordered the old glazed ceramic Mudejar font replaced. [NB: we have no information on the whereabouts of the replaced font; for the replacement font cf. Index entry for Cabezas Rubias No.2]
