Postcards from Heysham

Heysham is a coastal town in Lancaster County, Lancashire, England, overlooking Morecambe Bay. It is a major ferry port with connections to the Isle of Man and Ireland. Heysham is also the site of two nuclear power stations.

The town is best known for the stone-carved tombs near the ruins of the old St. Patrick's Chapel, next to St. Peter's Church. These tombs likely date back to the 11th century and are carved from solid rock. Local legend has it that St. Patrick arrived here after his voyage from Ireland and founded the chapel. However, historical research indicates that the chapel was built approximately three centuries after his death and must be placed within the context of early Celtic Christianity.

The unique stone graves also gained international fame through their depiction on the cover of Black Sabbath's album "The Best of Black Sabbath."

Heysham is een kustplaats in het district Lancaster, in het graafschap Lancashire in Engeland, met uitzicht op Morecambe Bay. Het is een belangrijke veerhaven met verbindingen naar het eiland Man en Ierland. Daarnaast is Heysham de locatie van twee kerncentrales.

De plaats is vooral bekend om de uit steen gehouwen graven bij de ruïnes van de oude St. Patrick’s Chapel, naast St. Peter’s Church. Deze graven dateren vermoedelijk uit de 11e eeuw en zijn uit massief gesteente gehouwen. Volgens een lokale legende zou Sint-Patrick hier zijn aangekomen na zijn overtocht vanuit Ierland en zou hij de kapel hebben gesticht. Historisch onderzoek wijst echter uit dat de kapel ongeveer drie eeuwen na zijn dood werd gebouwd en moet worden geplaatst in de context van het vroege Keltische christendom.

De bijzondere stenen graven kregen ook internationale bekendheid doordat zij zijn afgebeeld op de hoes van het album "The Best of Black Sabbath" van de band Black Sabbath.
