The entry for this church in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/burgos_TOBALINILLA.pdf] [accessed 27 November 2025] mentions no font in it. The baptismal font of stone, which could probably be of the same period as the fabric of the church (13thC?), cosnists of a roughly hemispherical basin raised on a round pedestal base, both totally plain. The basin shows much evidence of damage, including several large cracks now repaired, and places of spot damage and repair as well in the upper rim; also in the upper rim is a metal staple from an old cover. No cover present now.
