St Patrick's Chapel and the Stone Graves
The first stage of St Patrick’s Chapel was built in the early 8th Century. It has been identified as an-early focal point in both Anglo-Saxon and Roman Christianity. The first stage of the building was a narrow oblong structure with a doorway facing to the south. That doorway still stands today. The chapel is small and would probably have housed an object of religious significance inside whilst religious services would have been held outside. Legend has it that the chapel is dedicated to St Patrick as he landed here in the 5th century.
The graves and chapel hold several mysteries which have puzzled archaeologists over the years. The rock cut or stone graves are Grade 1 listed as is nearby St Patrick's Chapel. Both are now in the care of the National Trust. The tombs (8 in all) are thought to have been the resting place for the bones of rich or important people. Amongst the 8 tombs there is one apparently for a child. In 1977 and again in 1978 an extensive archaeological investigation of the Chapel and the graves was conducted by T W Potter and R D Andrews. Their investigations are recorded in great detail in The Antiquaries Journal 1994 Vol LXXIV. The diagram below is reproduced from that document.
At the corner of Main Street in Heysham, Lancashire, and just down the slope from St Peter’s Church is St Patrick’s Well (also known as Church Well). It is built into the wall at the side of the street at the bottom of the rectory garden (Glebe Garden). However, it would seem that it has never been a holy well despite being named after the Irish patron saint, but merely ‘a spring’ that was used by the local church, St Peter’s, and its rectory. Perhaps it should be called St Peter’s Well. The village, it would seem, needed the divine help of a great saint such as St Patrick and, after all the ruined Saxon chapel on the headland above the parish church already bore his name. Today, in the rectangular-shaped arched walled recess above two stone steps and pebble-filled basin there is a hand-operated pump contraptiuon, but whether this still pumps water is anyone’s guess - though it might do!? The present structure only dates from the early 1900s but it stands in the place of an earlier 18th Century well that had collapsed. It is Grade II listed. Heysham is a very attractive village situated about 1¾ miles to the southwest of Morecambe on the A589.
