What is recorded here

One cannot help but picture a priest or parent kneeling beside it, pouring water over small hands while rain tapped the church roof. The font belonged to Clara, where baptism marked the beginning of Christian life and memory. Even broken, it still points to that moment when water, faith and community joined together.

In the SW portion of the graveyard (KK020-017002-) enclosing the medieval church of Clara (KK020-017001-), close to the S boundary wall. A portion of the shaft of a font consisting of a large block of polished limestone (H 0.35m, diam. 0.4m) subcircular in plan with semi-circular roll-mollings at each of its four corners. There has been some damage to these mouldings. A drainage hole (diam. 0.11m) runs through its centre of the shaft. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 18 November 2020
