Parece que este templo debió ser el lugar de culto del núcleo de población de Villanueva de Herreros que desde 1174 hasta 1517 perteneció a San Pedro de Arlanza."

Arteguias [www.arteguias.com/romanico_sierra.htm] [accessed 28 December 2013] informs that the so-called Ermita de los Mártires, a rural chapel near Barbadillo de Herreros, on a mountain side on the way towards Monterrubio de la Demanda, was originally the parish church of an abandoned nearby village. We have no information on its original font.
