ALT1: ... that a November 2022 fire at Lundie Kirk(pictured) caused the loss of historic artefacts relating to
Admiral Duncan? Source: "Irreplaceable artefacts associated with one of Britain’s most noteable seafarers have been completely lost in the fire which ravaged a 900-year-old rural Angus kirk." from: Brown, Graham (29 November 2022).

ALT2: ... that the bodies of
Sir William Duncan and his wife were removed from the mausoleum at Lundie Kirk(pictured) to allow its conversion into a
vestry? Source: "In 1789, Lady Mary Tufton had the mausoleum built to honour her late husband, Sir William Duncan, who had been physician to King George II. She was also later interred there. Occupants of the mausoleum were removed and interred in the Duncan burial ground. The mausoleum was then converted into the vestry." from:
"Churches in Fowlis, Liff, Lundie, Muirhead". Church of Scotland. Retrieved 4 January 2023.
Overall: Prefer ALT0 as the most interesting (especially with the image). I have put "roofless shell" in quotation marks because of its replication from the source; the nominator can decide whether to describe it in other words. Otherwise, everything looks good.

theleekycauldron, sorry I hadn't spotted the change to the hook made by
AirshipJungleman29. The actual quote is "a charred roofless shell", which I have now added to the article -
