Cogollos No. 1 / Cocollos

The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 22 January 2022] mentions the two churches in Cogollos; of San Pedro it writes: "Su iglesia actual, en el barrio de Abajo, está dedicada a San Pedro, Apóstol, y es renacentista de una sola nave con capillas laterales en cruz latina, con bóvedas y nervios de piedra y hermosa ventana renacentista. El ábside es rectangular con dos contrafuertes y canes románicos lisos; está recrecido hasta el alero. la portada es renacentista con columnas, cabezas y hornacina con Santo, bajo gran pórtico abierto, de la época. Y la torre es en espadaña, con tres huecos con dos campanas, óculo y puerta tapiada. la pila es románica sencilla". Baptismal font consisting of a roughly hemispheric basin decorated only with a roll moulding around the lower end of the underbowl; it has damage at the upper rim likely related to metal staples splitting the stone there; on a plain cylindrical stem and a square lower base, the latter decorated with a roll moulding and with four motifs in the corners; the motifs are eroded or damaged now, one appearing to be vegetal, another a ball. knob or head? No cover present but notches, metal plugs and drilled holes in the upper rim suggest an earlier cover. [NB: this church is not studied in the Enciclopedia del románico, probably on account of its late date].
