MenuHeysham, Lancashire
Heysham is a large coastal vullage and ferry port in Lancashire. Heysham Harbour was built in 1900. St Peter's Church contains a Norse hogback stone of unknown purpose or meaning. A pre-Roman labyrinth is carved in the rocks of the foreshore. Above Heysham is the area known as the Barrows, the only sea-cliffs in Lancashire. The ancient St Patrick's Chapel stands in ruins on the cliff-edge. The chapel contain a unique Anglo-Saxon arch and several grave-holes, thought to date from the 11th century, hewn out of solid rock into the shapes of the bodies they were to receive. The village is within the council area of Lancaster (Lancashire).
