The entry for this church in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/burgos_EL_REBOLLAR.pdf] [accessed 30 January 2026] mentions neither font nor stoup in it; the church itself is described as going back to the late-Romanesque period: "Al románico tardío –en un sentido muy amplio– pertenecen la torre y la fachada meridional de la nave, siendo el resto de las estructuras de momentos posteriores a la Edad Media". [cf. BSI entry for Rebollar No. 2 for the stoup in this church].
