What is recorded here
St Mary's medieval parish church in Callan South once held a carved Holy Trinity panel now moved 190m south-southwest into the porch of the RC church on Green St. The stone likely survived because people kept returning to it, touching its edges or praying beside it until the church itself changed shape around the sculpture. What began as religious devotion may have become ordinary local memory, the kind where a building disappears but its heart keeps a new address.
St Mary's medieval parish church (KK026-010012-) is the original location record for a carved panel depicting the Holy Trinity. The panel is currently in the porch of the RC church, c. 190m to the SSW, on the W side of Green St. (see KK026-010032-).
