A sandstone baptismal font of the 15th century is noted and illustrated in González Cembellín et al. (2012); it consists of a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with a roll moulding at the upper rim, part of the moulding carved with a saw-tooth pattern, and a Greek cross inscribed in a circle on the basin side, now the side facing west; raised on a cylindrical pedestal base with roll mouldings at the ends. The wooden cover is round, flat and plain, with a knob handle or finial; it is modern. This source suggests the rest of the saw-tooth pattern has been lost from the upper rim moulding, but the carving appears to have existed only on the front side, right above the only motif on the sides. The font was reported damaged in 1616, a crack, which, according to the above source, was repaired. Two elaborately carved red-marble holy-water stoups of a late period are also noted in this source, wall-mounted on pillars of the nave; the are dated to 1766 by an entry in the parish records stating their price of "800 reales".
