Castro (1915) quotes Carreras Candi (?) [www.gutenberg.org/files/41337/41337-h/41337-h.htm] [accessed 26 July 2013]: "En el año 804 se estableció en Añes el Monasterio de San Vicente de Annies, que posteriormente se sumó con el de San Millán." The Adam and Eve tympanum in this church is catalogued in [www.claustro.com/AntTestamento/AdanEva/Webpages/AdanEva_lista.htm] [accessed 23 July 2013]. The font itself is, by contrast, unremarkable; it consists of a plain round tapering basin raised on a plain cylindrical pedestal base and a square lower base or plinth, also plain. It may be late medieval. [NB: we have no information on the font from the original Romanesque church here].
