Heysham

Above the Heysham Parish church of St Peter is a rock, sheer on three sides, and on it stand the ruins traditionally known as 'St Patrick's Chapel'. Near the chapel there are cuttings in the rock for human remains, known as the 'rock hewn graves'. The ruins and their setting are impressive and atmospheric, and leave visitors to the site longing to know who built? when? and for what purpose?

The following is an historical interpretation by J.C. Procter M.A., F.C.I.B.S.E.
