Church Notes: mid-13thC(?) church; Madoz' Diccionario... has it dedicated to San Juan
The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed January 2023] notes: "Su iglesia está dedicada a San Andrés, Apóstol, y es de estilo indefinido, podríamos decir neo-renacentista [...] de 1837 [...] Su ábside es semicircular, tipo románico, tosco con canes lisos, enfoscado y encalado. La portada es gótica [...] La pila es de copa, lisa, y pie cilíndrico". The entry for this church in the Enciclopedia del románico [www.romanicodigital.com] does not mention the font but dates the original church to the mid-13th century. It is a plain font of stone, a roughly-hemispherical basin on a squate round base. No cover present.
