Another find

Into town again this morning for a volunteering shift and got my second dose of vaccine before I left to walk home. On the way across City Square I saw this in the paving which I hadn't noticed before.
Some info on it:
St Clement's Church was very small, measuring roughly 42' E-W by c. 18 1/2', the date of its foundation is not known but it must have been destroyed at the siege of Dundee in 1547; and in 1558 it is certain that the building was unroofed and ruinous.
The manse, which remained nearly entire till recently, stood a little to the SE, and was a massive building of three storeys. 
The churchyard was the only common burial place within the old burgh until Queen Mary, in 1564, granted the Greyfriars Yard for the purpose, after which St Clement's ceased to be used.
A Maxwell 1891, A C Lamb 1895.

Some more gardening this afternoon and a short run with someone who's just getting back into it this evening
Apologies if this font comes out wee, it insists on going with the copied info's font
