What is recorded here

The Roman Catholic church of Skreen was built in 1827 according to a stone in its tower. Built into the inner faces of the walls of the porch are two medieval fonts that are used as stoups. These were probably taken from unknown medieval church sites in the vicinity. That on the E side is an eight-sided limestone (ext. dim. 0.65m) polished from wear with a circular basin (int. diam. 0.48m; D 0.22m) which has pock-marked inner surfaces. Its under-panels are hidden in masonry. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 28 January, 2015
