The Diccionario Geográfico-Histórico de España de la Real Academia de la Historia (Madrid: Viuda de Joaquin Ibarra, 1802), Sec. 1, T. 2: 417, mentions Cerrencano as a village in the valley of Urraul Alto. Cerrencano [aka Zarrangano] appears in Madoz' Diccionario geográfico-estadístico-histórico de España y sus posesiones de Ultramar, (T.VI, 1850, p. 364) with a church dedicated to St Peter; the church is noted in Madoz (ibid.) as a chapel of ease to nearby Zabalza [NB: Madoz makes no mention of two localiities, "Alto" and "Bajo", so it is likely there was only one church for both 'barrios']. Cerrencano appears in the Nomenclátor Histórico de Navarra [https://sites.google.com/site/nomenclatornavarra/merindad-de-sanguesa/primer-partido-de-la-merindad-de-sanguesa/urraul-alto/cerrencano] [accessed 7 June 2020]. Cerrencano [unaccented] appears in the Gran Enciclopedia de Navarra [www.enciclopedianavarra.com/?page_id=20117] [accessed 7 June 2020]. Caro Baroja (1982, vol. 3: 155) notes the earlier spelling of "Cerrenquano" for this locateion. Gure Guipuzkoa [www.guregipuzkoa.eus/photo/114976/] [accessed 7 June 2020], however, has a photograph of an old stone portal captioned "Erortzeko zorian dagoen elizako ate erromanikoa" [=portal of a Romanesque church on the verge of collapse]. The same site shows a battered and abandoned baptismal font at all appearances medieval; it consists of a round(?) basin decorated with a row of horseshoe arch-heads all around; it appears to have some releif on the underbowl but it is not discernible in the source; the base, almost invisible, appears round. The entry for this abandoned site in the Catalogo Monumental de Navarra, vol. IV**, 1992, p. 532, identifies the church as "San Pedro"and "posiblemente medieval"; it mentions no font in it. The font is illustrated in Luis Pedro Peña Santiago and Juan San Martín in their Estudio etnográfico de Urraul Alto (Navarra), MUNIBE (San Sebastián) Sociedad de Ciencias Naturales ARANZADI. Año XVIII -Números 1/4 -1.966-Páginas 69-160, foto 32.
