Font Notes:
Described and illustrated in Sáenz Rodríguez (2004), who suggests a medieval date for this font, although he notes that it is of difficult dating; the basin is round with tapering sides that are plain except for a sigle quadruped sketched towards the upper side; raised on a cylindrical stem with a moulding [NB: the lower part of the base is under the flooring; the basin has a single metal staple from the old cover, but at the opposite end there appears to be damage consistent with the removal of one other staple there.
