St Cleer (Cornish: Ryskaradek) is a civil parish and village in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The village is situated on the southeast flank of Bodmin Moor approximately two miles (3 km) north of Liskeard.[1]
St Cleer parish church, at an elevation of approximately 690 feet (210 metres), is dedicated to Saint Clarus. Its three-stage tower is 97 feet (30 metres) high and contains a ring of six bells.[2][3] First built in 800 but rebuilt in the 13th century, the tower suffered damage and was repaired in the 15th century.
The population of the parish in 2001 numbered 3257.[2]
Prehistoric and medieval remains
Trethevy Quoit is a megalithic chamber tomb, and the Doniert Stone an inscribed stone of the Anglo-Saxon period. Near the churchyard is St Cleer's holy well with a small building covering it, built of granite in the 15th century, to allow for a bowssening pool for total immersion.
