Font Notes:
We have a 2020 photograph of a plain, roughly hemispherical basin of stone that lies disused in a corner of the nave here; it must have been part of a medieval baptismal font, as it shows two metal staples at opposite ends of the upper rim, former anchorings for an old font cover; if it had a base it is now missing. We have no information on its origin [cf. BSI entry San Andres de Montearados No. 1 for another medieval font in this church]
