Tiene cuatro arquivoltas apuntadas y capiteles con bestias silenses como arpías, varios temas figurados muy deteriorados (quizás uno de ellos trate de la degollación de San Juan Bautista), dos grandes rostros humanos y una representación cinegética de montería del jabalí. Queda el dintel -con cruz patada- de un tímpano desaparecido y una de las mochetas con cabeza leonina."](/static-50478a99ec6f36a15d6234548c59f63da52304e5/compressed/1200613016_compressed.png)

Church Notes: present church 12thC on an earlier church; documented 1163; noted in Arteguias [www.arteguias.com/monasterio/sanmillanlara.htm] [accessed 13 June 2020] as the church of "un antiguo monasterio primero mozárabe y luego románico [...] En un sillar interior del cuerpo bajo de la torre, existe una inscripción que explica que Benedicto, Miguel y Martín hicieron esta obra en la era 1203 (año 1165)."

Arteguias [www.arteguias.com/monasterio/sanmillanlara.htm] [accessed 13 June 2020] notes: "A los pies del templo, en el muro norte hay una escalera que finaliza en una portada con arco polilobulado apuntado similar a los ventanales de algunas iglesias de La Bureba. Esta puerta da acceso a la base de la torre donde está la entrada a la cueva habitada por los eremitas. [...] Junto a la escalera citada queda la pila bautismal de curiosa forma troncocónica estilizada y apenas unas incisiones alargadas alternantes con otras redondas como ornato exterior." That font is not mentioned in the entry for this Romanesque church in the Enciclopedia del románico [www.romanicodigital.com] surely on account of its date/period. The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed May 2022] reports a font of undefined style/period [="La pila es de estilo indefinido, tipo copa, con acanalados"]. The bucket-shaped basin has a thin moulding at the upper rim, with irregular fluting on the sides; central drain inside; the present font, perhaps of the 16th century, is raised on a plain cylindrical base and a massive three-step plinth that makes one suspect supported a much more seigneurial font of the earlier period. No cover present. A stone holy-water stoup , also of a late date, stands by the entranceway.
