Stone cut-out graves at St Patrick's Chapel, Heysham. Taken yesterday.
Believed to be some of the earliest examples of Christian burials in the country. Likely constructed in the 11th-century, each grave is carved from solid rock and because a large number of bones were found, it is thought that these graves acted as a reliquery and were reserved for the privileged, including what seems to be one child. Holes at the head ends suggests that they would have been covered by stone slabs and have stone crosses in place.
Also featured on the album cover 'The Best of Black Sabbath'
