The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 29 June 2021] notes: "iglesia sencilla de una nave con techo raso dedicada a San Román, abad. Su ábside es rectangular con contrafuertes, abovedado en su interior. La portada tiene arco de medio punto con grandes dovelas molduradas y la torre es en espadaña rematada en cruz, con dos huecos y dos campanas.La pila es sencilla, tipo vaso, lisa. [...] Conserva, además, los restos de una antigua iglesia románica, amplia, con canecillos en el alero, ábside semicircular con canes historiados, y espadaña rematada en cruz con tres huecos vacíos y una portada cegada. Estaba dedicada a San Román, título que permanece en la iglesia actual, antigua ermita." The entry for this village iin the Enciclopedia del románico [www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/burgos_LA_MOLINA_DE_UBIERNA.pdf] [accessed 29 June 2021] describes and illustrates the ruins of the former parish church, but does not mention its former font, or the font now located in the rural chapel that has taken the place as parish church. No cover present but the upper rim shows evidence of metal anchoring spots from a former font cover. [NB: the church described in Nebreda Perdiguero [cf. supra] as the parish church here is actually the former chapel of ease [="ermita"], and its font is described as beaker-shaped and plain [="sencilla, tipo vaso, lisa"], but the present font in this former ermita does not match the description, although one should be suspicious of such generic descriptions in this author; the font in the ermita has a large flat moulding below the upper rim of its conical basin, as well as several graded mouldings (torus-scotia-torus-...) on the upper base area. Assuming that the ermita had chapel-of-ease functions it would have had a font; there should have been a font also in the parish church, which would make it two fonts in La Molina de Ubiena, but we only have information and evidence of one, the conical moulded stone font located now [June 2021] inside the former ermita, partly built into the southeast corner formed by the right pillar of the chancel arch and the south wall [cf. ImagesArea]. Where is the other font? Is it among the ruins of the now abandoned former parish church?]
