The entry for this church in the municipality's web site [https://www.ayto-santiurde.com/turismo/pueblos-valle-de-toranzo/pando/parroquia-de-san-martin-pando/] [accessed 17 November 2019] notes: "Una pila bautismal troncocónica, de caliza y sin decoración, procedente de la iglesia, permanece al exterior, rellena de tierra, en el ángulo que forman los muros de la sacristía y la cabecera." [NB: this source does not mention the font we have documented as being inside the church; the font mentioned in this source as being "troncocónica, de caliza y sin decoración" [i.e., bucket-shaped and devoid of decoration] does not correspond to the one we have documented inside the church; could it be a later font? a font from a nearby chapel [San Roque] or church?]. The present font inside the church is cauldron-shaped, decorated with a row of ball motif all around upper rim.
