The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed February 2023] notes: "Tiene una iglesia, dedicada a San Lorenzo, gótica [...] La portada es gótica sin apuntar, de 1315, con fustes, capiteles y arquivoltas lisas, la primera con figuras sueltas y sogueado. Tiene, además, otra portada apuntada, lisa y otra adintelada con ménsulas [...] La pila es románica, grande y lisa, bajo la torre". The entry for this church in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/burgos_VILLADIEGO.pdf] [accessed 18 February 2023] notes the church as Gothic, a replecement of a Romanesque building of which some elements survive and were integrated in the later church; the entry does not mention a font in it, disagreeing obviously with Nebreda's dating of the present font as Romanesque. No font cover present but the upper rim of the basin shows evidence related to cover anchorings.
