The entry for this church in the Enciclopedia del románico [www.romanicodigital.com] describes and illustrates a limestone font here probably from the early-13th century, and likely originally from the nearby Ermita de San Miguel [="La pila bautismal, tallada en piedra caliza, con una altura total de 87 cm y con 99 cm de diámetro, está compuesta por un vaso troncocónico, dispuesto sobre una corta basa cuadrangular. Dicho vaso, que muestra un ensanchamiento en la parte inferior, presenta embocadura recorrida por bocel, con el interior avenerado y el exterior con someros pero anchos gallones. El pie es una basa cuadrangular, de apenas de 21 cm de altura, con volutas en las esquinas, disponiéndose el conjunto sobre la típica rosca circular de amplio diámetro. La cronología de esta pila es tardía y quizá pueda situarse ya en los comienzos del siglo XIII, como muchas otras piezas caracterizadas por esta misma decoración interior y exterior, aunque la que nos ocupa tiene la particularidad de mostrar un vaso troncocónico, mucho más enraizado en la tradición románica. Es muy probable que su ubicación original fuera la actual ermita de San Miguel". The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 24 November 2021] notes: "Su iglesia, dedicada a la Inmaculada Concepción de María, es renacentista [...] La portada es románica apuntada [...] La pila es románica con decoración".
