MenuSt Patrick's Chapel, Lancashire
St Patrick's Chapel is a ruined building that stands on a headland above St Peter's Church, in Heysham, Lancashire. It is a Grade I listed building and a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The chapel dates from around AD 750 and most observers can no longer see any reason to support the myth that the chapel was built by St Patrick, who actually died around AD 490. It is thought that the chapel was built to serve a monastic community. All that remains is the south wall containing a doorway and the east wall. Near the chapel is a group of six rock-cut tombs from the 11th century and a separate group of two rock-cut tombs. Each group is listed at Grade I, and each tomb has an associated socket probably intended for a timber cross. They featured on the cover of Black Sabbath's 2000 album 'The Best of Black Sabbath'.It is within the council area of Lancaster (Lancashire).
