The entry for this church in MonumentalNet [https://monumentalnet.org/monumento.php?r=BU-384000100-TOR-IGL-STA-CRU&seo=iglesia-de-santa-cruz-tordomar-burgos-castilla-y-leon] [accessed 8 December 2025] mentions a Romanesque font in it: "la pila bautismal es románica". The stone font consists of a roughly-hemispherical basin raised on a short circular pedestal base decorated with a roll moulding; the basin has a band of saw-tooth below the upper rim. There is a metal staple remaining from the old cover anchorings, the opposite side damaged probably by another such now lost. No cover present. The design of the font points to a Gothic or later period, not Romanesque.
