St Cleer

St Cleer (Cornish: Ryskarasek) is a civil parish and village in east Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.

The village is situated on the southeast flank of Bodmin Moor approximately two miles (3 km) north of Liskeard.

[4] St Cleer parish church, at an elevation of approximately 690 feet (210 metres), is dedicated to Saint Clarus.

However, he rejected the advances of a local chieftainess who had fallen in love with him and when she continued to pester him he fled to France where he lived in an isolated hermitage.

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.
