Church Notes: original probably late-12th or early-13thC medieval abbey under San Pedro de Teverga; documented 14thC; re-built 1695; restored 20thC; mural paintings 14th-15thC on chancel arch [http://www.pinturamuralasturiana.org/documentos/teverga---santo-tomas-de-riello] [accessed 30 December 2018] -- the village itself is documented in 1074 when it was donated to D. Pelayo, the bishop of Oviedo
Baptismal font that may or, more likely, may not have been together originally; the basin is roughly hemispherical, 'roughly' being the operative word as it is very irregular; it also shows evidence of damage and repairs; broad roll moulding at the upper rim, with a row round arche-heads below; the underbowl is decorated with a pttern of concave ribs with inserts; although the font is rather a crude work the concave ribbing with inserts suggests a later date than its overall appearance; raised on a plain cylindrical pedestal base of a different kind of stone. The inner well has been altered, creating an internal division at a later date, when the fashion of a divided basin was adopted after the French practice. Plain and flat wooden cover; modern.
