St. Clement revisited

Clement revisited

I was back in St. Clement in early 2019 at a time when the village's annual flower festival was taking place in the church. On this occasion I took the opportunity to spend time in the church and take a good number of photographs, The first thing that struck me was the number of stained glass windows. Pevsner explains their significance..."a rare and striking set of enamel-painted windows, by Revd Clement Carlyon, in lively geometric patterns with heraldic motifs". The font looked interesting but was too bedecked with flowers to be able to see the detail. On the other hand, the pulpit was fully visible and is extremely unusual, square, constructed entirely of serpentine and dating from 1870. I was also struck by two marble wall memorials, one to William Carpenter, the other to John Vivian of Pencalenick.
