[NB: we have no information on the font of the original 11th-12th century church here]. There are two objects of related interest in this church now: a holy-water stoup of stone by the entranceway, the basin of which may date to the 16th-century restoration of the old Romanesque church here; the other is a later [18th-19th century?] font, also of stone, topped with a modern wooden cover. The entry for this church in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/HUESCA_Beranuy.pdf] [accessed 12 October 2025] mentions the location of the present font, presumably the later font, but gives no other information of it: "El perímetro rectangular de la amplia nave fue alterado con la apertura en el costado sur de una capilla, cobijada en el grueso del muro, que recibe un acabado de revoque y custodia la pila bautismal."
