Place & story
Church and burial ground
The Department for Communities’ survey locates Clonallan Parish Church in Clonallan Glebe. A two-stage tower rises at the west end of the rectangular church, with corner pinnacles and battlemented parapets. The survey records box pews inside and a churchyard enclosed by granite walls and iron railings. Its memorials include local granite stones, slate and red sandstone. The 1999 inspection presents the building and burial ground together, showing different materials and successive forms of commemoration within the same enclosure. [2]
