Baptismal font noted and illustrated in Pedro Lozano Huerta [https://www.facebook.com/groups/LaMagiadelasPiedras/posts/25027698203554557/] [accessed 4 December 2025], who mentions that Emiliano Nebreda had dated it as Romanesque, but the font, though hard to date, is of a later period; Loxano Huerta points out the therough crack and advises that the font be repaired before it collapses totally: "Iglesia de San Martín Obispo- Campino de Bricia- Burgos- Pila Bautismal.
Pila monolítica. La copa es lisa ,el pie cilíndrico y la base cuadrada. La han achatado los bordes de la copa, redondeándolos. Aunque Emiliano Nebreda la etiqueta como románica, es de difícil datación y casi me atrevería a decir que posterior. Tiene una raja que atraviesa toda la copa y pie, que si no se interviene acabará colapsando y después no tendrá ya remedio, por lo que urge su reparación y pido a las autoridades competentes, empezando por el cura párroco para dar los pasos para su inminente restauración que con las soluciones que hay ahora, no tendría demasiados problemas ni excesivo coste." Baptismal font of stone consisting of a roughly-hemispherical basin raised on a round-to-dquare pedestal base decorated with two flat mouldings; the font has a thin crack through all the way down to the base [cf. supra]; the square lower end of the base is semi-buried in the flooring. The wooden cover is round, flat and plain; modern.
The church has also a stone holy-water stoup worth mentioning: it consists of a bucket-shaped basin decorated with a broad roll moulding at the upper rim, a shallow band of saw-tooth below and a few concave ribs, also very shallow below; broad moulding at the bottom of the basin; on a cylindrical pedestal base moulded at both ends; the stoup appears to be partly embedded in the wal behind.
