Clare (from An Clár, meaning 'the plank bridge')[1] is a village situated on the Cusher River, two miles southwest from Tandragee, in County Armagh, Northern Ireland.

[4] In the early 17th century the lands in the area were confiscated, from Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone by James I of England, and granted to Michael Harrison.

; The initial area returns from October 1914 recorded 73 men from Ahorey, 69 from Clare, 50 from Lisavague, 18 from Manordocherty, 46 from Tyrones Ditches, 13 from Poyntzpass, 92 from Scarva, 90 from Tandragee, and 31 from Laurelvale.

On 14 January 1914, an inspection of the Tandragee, Clare, Ahorey, Laurelvale, Cornascriebe, and Teemore Volunteers took place at Harrybrook, with attendance ranging from 200 to 300.

[13] The lodge organises an annual event known as 'Lundy Night' each August, which includes a parade that begins at the Orange Hall, proceeds through the village, and finishes in a field where an effigy of Lundy the Traitor is set alight.

Records from the early 19th century indicate that seat-holders included members who journeyed from relatively distant locations such as Poyntzpass, Marlacoo, Cornascriebe, and Ballynewry.

However, the emergence of other congregations like Ahorey, Cremore, and Tandragee offered more accessible options for families making the lengthy trek to Clare on foot.

[17] Clare Parish Church was built in 1840, accompanied by two smaller buildings: a school and a caretaker's house, with an outhouse added subsequently.

This stone outhouse, featuring a tin roof, initially housed a dry bucket and has largely retained its original form, without running water, into the 21st century.
