Graveslab in Quin

Graveslab

What is recorded here

Graveslab in Quin lies broken and nameless in the chancel of Quin Abbey church, its top left corner lost to time. It may have marked a canon, a noble visitor or a child buried in haste during a violent age. The absence of inscription does not diminish the dead person; it returns the story to imagination and mercy.
