Asset Overview

Project commissioned by [Inchinnan Historical Interest Group](https://www.facebook.com/InchinnanHistoricalInterestGroup/). Funded by Historic Environment Scotland and Heritage Lottery Fund. **Inchinnan 1. Early Christian stone, New Parish Church, Inchinnan, Renfrew.** **Stone type:** Sandstone. This recumbent grave-slab is sculpted with a long-shafted coss and interlace. It is similar to grave-slabs at Govan and probably dates to the 10th-12th centuries. The slab would have been laid over a grave and may have been accompanied by a headstone. At Strathclyde in the 10th century, there was a distinctive school of monuments, influenced by both Pictish and Anglian (Northumbrian) styles of design. http://canmore.org.uk/collection/450030
