Heysham Graveyard

I had an extremely difficult time picking my favorite photograph from this incredible collection but after narrowing my choices down to two, I ultimately chose “Heysham Graveyard” from the “Dark Collection”. This photograph definitely set an ominous tone and reminded me of the opening to a Lovecraftian or Edgar Allen Poe film. I could definitely envision Vincent Price strolling through the graveyard as the titles for “Tomb of Ligeia” rolled across the screen. The striking splash of red really set this photograph apart from the others for me. The tall, barren trees and wispy clouds in the sky, all in blacks and greys, set a great contrast for the wash of crimson creeping in. I especially like that this photograph is timeless. I get the impression that a similar photograph of this scene taken 100 years from now would be a virtual mirror image. It is effectively foreboding, yet beautiful.

St Peter’s church in Heysham pictured above dates back to the tenth century and has Saxon architecture as well as early Norman architecture.  There is evidence to suggest that an earlier church existed on the site that dates back to the seventh century.

It is a beautiful place and sits in a small village overlooking Morecambe Bay.

Next to the church stands the ruins of St Patrick’s Chapel that date back to the sixth century and alongside these ruins you will find the stone coffins that have been dug out of the rock.
