Scope and Content Early Christian stone, New Parish Church, Inchinnan, Renfrew Inchinnan was probably an Early Christian foundation dedicated to St Conval, an Irish saint of the 5th century, and it served as the mother church for the surrounding area known as Strathgryffe (former county of Renfrew). 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. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
