The entry for this church in Patrimonio Galego [http://patrimoniogalego.net/index.php/66767/2015/01/igrexa-de-santa-maria-de-tamaguelos/] [accessed 6 May 2018] reports: "No adro está tamén o vello baptisterio, unha pía que posiblemente date de época medieval." The font consists of a roughly hemispherical basin raised on a polygonal stem and a quadrangular lower base; the basin has a groove all around; the font could be late-medieval, if not later. It is now located outside the church, by the south doorway.
