The entry for this village in Emiliano Nebreda Perdiguero [www.archiburgos.es/wp-content/uploads/amo-a-mi-pueblo.pdf] [accessed February 2023] notes: "La iglesia está dedicada a los santos mártires Emeterio y Celedonio y es renacentista [...] cabecera románica, de principios del siglo XIII, con bóveda de cañón. Su ábside es románico con ventanal. La portada es románica [...] La pila es románica con gallones y avenerada por dentro y pie cilíndrico". The entry for this church in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/burgos_VILLAGUTIÉRREZ.pdf] [accessed 25 February 2023] dates the church to the second quarter of the 13th century; it does not mention the font in it. The baptismal font consists of a roughly hemispheric basin decorated on the outside by a moulding at the upper rim and shield-shaped ribs on the outside; the inner side of the basin is decorated with a concave ribbed pattern; a roll moulding decorates the top of the round pedestal base, which has large X motifs [saltires?] on the lower half; the round plinth is now level with the ground. No cover present but there is evidence of anchoring hardware on the upper rim of the basin.
