Architectural fragment in Churchclara

Architectural fragment

What is recorded here

A half-metre chamfered stone sits on the graveyard wall beside the medieval church of Clara, perhaps pulled from a demolished gate or altar before the present building rose. It has survived rain, reverence and neglect because nobody decided it was worthless. The dead around it have had centuries to prove that ordinary stone can hold more memory than any monument.
