Rock Graves and St. Patrick's Chapel

Rock graves and St. Patrick's Chapel, Heysham Village, Lancashire.
St Patrick's Chapel is believed to date from the 8th century. As one of the earliest surviving Christian buildings in the north west of England, it may have had monastic origins.
The eight graves dug out of solid rock probably date from the 10th century and would originally have had stone covers and wooden crosses (note the holes in which the crosses would have been held).
