Figure 6 shows the stone graves in the ruins of the ancient St. Patrick's Chapel, close to St Peter's Church, Heysham. They are thought to date from the 11th century, and are hewn from solid rock. Local legend has it that St Patrick landed here after crossing from Ireland and established the chapel. However it has been established that the chapel was built around 300 years after Patrick's death. These stone graves appear on the cover of the Black Sabbath CD, "The Best of Black Sabbath".
