St Peter and Paul's RC Barn Church, Stydd
St Peter and Paul’s Roman Catholic Barn Church at Stydd near Ribchester in the Ribble Valley of Lancashire.
This true barn church was built in 1789. Its secluded position was carefully chosen, for at that time it was still illegal for Roman Catholics to have public places of worship. The building was built to look like a barn to disguise its function as a church.
The church was considerably lengthened in 1877.
This is the last remaining true 'barn church'.
The neighbouring priest’s house, Stydd Lodge, is thought to have been the residence of the bailiff of the Sydd Estate.
