Baptismal font listed in the entry for this church in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/madrid_CAMARMA_DE_ESTERUELAS.pdf] [accessed 17 October 2025]: "Próxima al presbiterio, en la nave de la epístola, se sitúa la pila bautismal, retardataria del mismo modo, si bien conserva la traza románica. Sobre un tenante con decoración de arquillos, se dispone el vaso de perfil semiesférico y sin ningún tipo de ornamentación, únicamente el pequeño bocel que señala la embocadura. Sus medidas exteriores son de 115 cm de anchura por 54 cm de altura." Baptismal font of stone, consisting of a plain roughly hemispherical basin, a groove below the upper rim being its only decoration, raised on a square pedestal base decorated with a round arch or window on each side, and a round lower base decorated with blank shields all around; on a modern square plinth. The flat, round and plain cover is modern.
