Mr. Ross points out that Alaster Crotach or Humpback had, in 1498, a charter from King James IV. for the hereditary lands of Ardmanich, &c., and that he was succeeded by his son William, who died in 1553. The _Old Statistical Account_ informs us that the church was repaired by the said Alexander M‘Leod, who died (as the inscription on his tomb in the church bears) in 1527. Of the domestic buildings of the priory not a stone now remains. The church was burnt and was repaired in “1784 by the late patriotic Alex. M‘Leod, Esq., of Harris. After the church was roofed and slated, and the materials for furnishing it within laid up in it to a considerable value, it unfortunately took fire at night through the carelessness of the carpenters, who had left a live coal in it among the timbers. So zealous, however, was this friend of religion and mankind in his design of repairing it, that by his orders and at his expense it was soon after this accident roofed, and it is now [1794], though left unfinished since the time of his death, used as one of the principal places in the parish for celebrating divine service.” The church was again repaired in 1787. About 1866 it had once more become dilapidated, and was repaired under the supervision of Mr. Alexander Ross, architect, Inverness, to whose kindness we are indebted for permission to use the description and illustrations in his [Illustration: FIG. 1298.--Priory Church of St. Clement. Plan.] article on St. Clement’s in the _Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland_, above referred to. [Illustration: FIG. 1299.--Priory Church of St. Clement. View from South-East.] [Illustration: FIG. 1300.--Priory Church of St. Clement. Interior of South Side.] [Illustration: FIG. 1301.--Priory Church of St. Clement. Interior of North Side.] The building is chiefly remarkable from containing an elaborately sculptured monument to Alexander M‘Leod of Dunvegan or Harris. The structure (Fig. 1298) is small and is cruciform in plan. It has a square tower at the west end, the full width of the nave, which is founded on a rock at a higher level than the nave (Fig. 1299). The choir is not architecturally distinguished from the nave, and the whole building is 61 feet in length (internally) by 15 feet in width. It has a square east end, and is lighted by a large traceried east window, and by two small windows in the side walls. The former is [Illustration: FIG. 1302.--Priory Church of St. Clement. Responds and Mouldings at Entrance to Transepts.] pointed, and is divided by two mullions into three lights. The tracery in the arch-head consists of a circle divided by six radiating bars. The church (Fig. 1300) has two square-headed windows and two pointed windows in the south wall, and one square and one round-headed window in the north wall (Fig. 1301), and the entrance doorway, which is in the north wall, is also square lintelled.
