Font Notes:
The web site of the municipality [http://villalcazardesirga.es/index.php/municipio/historia/] [accessed 12 August 2019] notes that this church belonged in the early-13th century to a monastery in nearby Carrión de los Condes [="En los primeros años del siglo XIII, la iglesia de San Pedro era propia del Monasterio de San Zoilo de Carrión"], and that, by the mid-14th century was one of three parish church in Villalcázar de Sirga. According to Antonio Rubion Salan's Breve Notici\a de Villalcazar de Sirga y de su Templo (1952) [https://dialnet.unirioja.es/descarga/articulo/2485849.pdf] [accessed 12 August 2019] the church was started in 1274; in 1664 the church was donated to the diocese by the counts, and the baptismal font from the parish church of San Pedro was moved into Santa Maria la Blanca. [NB: we have no information on what font that would have been, as the only font now in Santa Maria is of the 16th century [cf. BSI entry for Villalcazar de Sirga No. 1]
