The entry for Nontoria de Valdearados in WikiBurgos [www.wikiburgos.es/wiki/Hontoria_de_Valdearados] [accessed 22 July 2020] mentions a font now in the Ermita de Cristo Rey but originally from the abandoned church of Santa María de Quintanilla, which was under the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of Arauzo de Torre but the land where it stood fell under Hontoria; the church had been abandoned ca. 1871 and many of its furnishings moved to the parish church of Arauzo de Torre; at a later date another ermita was built on the ruins of the old one and named Cristo Rey; the baptismal font that had been found buried in the site was restored and housed in the new church: "La pila bautismal, que se encontraba abandonada junto a las ruinas de lo que hoy queda de la ermita, fue restaurada por D. Luis Sanz , uno de los propietarios del coto, y hoy se encuentra instalada en la ermita de Cristo Rey, en el coto de Hontoria de Valdearados".
