Church Notes: Enciclopedia del R... notes: "Sólo la cabecera y parte del muro sur de la nave corresponden a la primitiva fábrica románica [...] puede fecharse en los años finales del siglo XII."
The entry for this church in the Enciclopedia del románico [www.romanicodigital.com] reports the church as originally Romanesque, late-12th century, but mentions no font in it. The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed 4 May 2022] also places the original church in the Romanesque period; it reports a Romanesque font in it, much re-carved / re-tooled now [="La pila de bautismo es románica, con dibujos geométricos, claramente rehechos."] The font consists of a roughly hemispherical basin the sides of which have been recently re-tooled/re-carved with two bands of geometric motifs, the lower one saw-tooth, very much in the style of fonts in the Cantabria region; t=one side of the upper basin has a large cement repair, likely for damage done by a metal anchoring of an old cover; another metal anchoring remains in the upper rim on the opposite side; the base is odd and resembles an octagonal basin of a font, used here as base; it has been damaged on several sides. No cover present.
