José Manuel Tomé, in Arteguias [http://www.arteguias.com/iglesia/mombuey.htm] [accessed 2 September 2017] mentions a "pila bautismal de imprecisa cronología" in this church. There are two fonts and a holy-water stoup in this church' the older font consists of a roughly cylindrical basin with rope mouldings at both ends, raised on a squat base; the upper rim bears scars from old anchorings for a font cover, but there is none present now. The second font appears to be just the basin of a later font, hemispherical and decorated with a patterns of ribs all around the underbowl; it is a design used in Castile for centuries, but it is probably of the 18th century. [cf. Index entry for Mombuey No. 2 for a heraldic stoup in this church].
