Quern Found in Burial Vault

Recent storm damage left a gap in the fence around the Darroch Family vault situated in Gourock Park, Gourock. Mr Louie Pastore took the opportunity to look inside the vault, and noted the presence of a quern stone. It is unclear why this quern should have ended up in the burial vault, though it is possible that it may have been placed there for safekeeping after the vault had fallen out of use. If anyone has any information on this, please get in touch!
