González de Fauve includes, in his study of the monastery of Aguilar de Campo, several news documentaries in which (from 1175 to 1225 approximately) is the monastery acquired estates certain individuals in the Vérez Quintanilla. Among the characters who sign one of these documents (particularly that of 1195) will appear Sunday Abbad de Quintanilla, and after another cleric and a deacon.

The building's architectural features as the main structure has a rectangular box consisting muraria navedividida one in two sections of unequal length and rectangular single head. Belfry and also has access to her body attached to its northern side, in the southern sacristy, attached to the head-external ossuary on the south side, between the first and second section of the nave and north porch attached to the supported by a right foot shoe on wooden parapet. Outwardly this internal partitioning is not noticeable because it has a very linear longitudinal development, with nave and at the same height. All this, with the exception of the porch, worked with a great yellow ashlar sandstone grain and fine grain.
Inside-completely whitewash with cutting of blocks in blue and yellow line socket to observe certain aspects which alone indicate that we have a temple that has been, throughout its long history, transformations. In this regard indicate that at deck level there are several solutions: from the use of the starry vault in the second bay of the nave and apse to the pointed barrel vault in the stretch of the feet, through the simple cover timber in the sacristy, in this case with plaster-and atrium. The current boot cover reused on the wall of an earlier one.
The last witness of the constructive remodeling is found in the brackets. On the outside corner buttresses the existence of the header (just like in San Cebrian Muda) and sacristy, others of different profiles and thicknesses, dot the walls of the nave. Inside are pilasters, brackets, angles, and a half columns attached to the arch height of the first stage in order to counteract the pressures of covering the first section of the ship.
Outside, on the western gable is cut out the silhouette of the gable articulated in two trim levels based simply nacelle. The double bottom and the top pointed vain with a single span and crowned pinion pointed nacelle. With the exception of the steeple and cover the rest of the openings or open windows in the building late bills have different types (ogee arches, arrow slits, rectangular, etc).
We are thus faced with a virtually rebuilt building in which the remains of an early Romanesque structure are almost accidental. Traces of the original Romanesque building from the late twelfth or early thirteenth appear only in the walls of the section of the foot of the nave, belfry, north wall and the interior of the apse where they seem to reuse some blocks. Both renovated sacristy as the court already belong to other phases much later made from the eighteenth century to the present day. The building underwent an overhaul between the XIV and XVII, a special patent renewal in the header and the second installment of the ship.
In the words of García Guinea, the church of San Martín de Quintanilla of a monument Berzosa is interesting because it tangibly see the impact of the constructive idea with new inventive Romanesque Gothic, very slowly and overcoming traditional forces, will replace the old structure of the eleventh and twelfth centuries ....
