The Govan Stones is an internationally-important museum collection of early-medieval carved stones displayed at Govan Old Parish Church in Glasgow, Scotland.[1]
The carved stones come from the surrounding early medieval heart-shaped churchyard and include the Govan Sarcophagus, four upstanding crosses, five Anglo-Scandinavian style hogbacks, and a wide range of recumbent cross market slab burial monuments, all likely dating to the 9th-11th centuries AD.
Govan Old and the Govan Stones museum are open daily between April 1 and October 31 from 1pm-4pm. Operated by the Govan Heritage Trust charity, admission is free, although visitors can make donations and the museum's gift-shop raises money for the upkeep of the property and its collections.
