Govan 18

3D Model

Govan 18 (Stirling Maxwell’s numbering; ECMS 7) is one of 31 early medieval recumbent cross-slabs originally recorded at Govan Old in 1899, and one of the few that was designed with angle-knobs. These monuments would have originally laid flat in the churchyard, likely marking the grave of a significant early medieval individual. This was reused for the burial of a William Bogle between the 17th-19th centuries; Tim Clarkson has written more on this in his blog.
