The entry for this church in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/LUGO_Nogueira_de_miño.pdf] [accessed 17 October 2025] reports a font and a stoup, both located at the west end of the nave, one on each side: "A los pies de la iglesia se emplazan las dos pilas de Nogueira, la bautismal del lado del Evangelio y la de agua bendita en de la Epístola. Ambas presentan copa y basa graníticas, esta última añadida posteriormente. Sus tazas constan de una sola pieza semiesférica con ligera prolongación vertical. La pila de agua bendita posee borde redondeado por medio
de liso bocel, bajo el cual se practica una sencilla decoración geométrica compuesta por un conjunto de líneas diagonales, dispuestas en sentido contrario a las agujas de reloj, que rodean todo su perímetro. La pila bautismal, ornada del mismo modo que la anterior, se encuentra gravemente erosionada y retocada con cemento (parte superior), perdiendo casi la totalidad de su decoración, solo perceptible en las proximidades del borde. Las dos pilas se realizarían al mismo tiempo que el templo románico, es decir, a finales del siglo XII o principios del
siguiente." The baptismal font in this church is located in the northwest corner of the nave, beneath the stairs leading to the gallery; it consists of a round basin, between hemispherical and cylindrical, that is badly eroded on its surfaces; raised on a round-to-square pedestal base that may be of later date, and a round plinth half built into the ground, that may be original. There is a modern font cover on the font, round, flat and plain. In the opposite side of the nave, just south of the entranceway, is a granite holy-water stoup that could also be medieval; it consists of a cylindrical basin decorated with a broad band of diagonal ribbing [usually a Gothic pattern], and is raised on a plain round-to-square pedestal base, also of granite.
