"Of historical interest are the stone graves in the ruins of the ancient St. Patrick's Chapel, close to St. Peter's Church. They are thought to date from the 11th century, and are hewn from solid rock. These stone graves appear on the cover of the Black Sabbath CD, 'The Best of Black Sabbath'. The grounds of St. Peter's Church contain many Saxon and Viking remains, and the church itself contains a Viking hogback stone. The purpose of these strange stone sculptures is the subject of much debate; however that they are found mainly in the north of England, and also in Scotland, Wales, Ireland, and a few areas of southern England with Viking links."
