St Saviour Church [Interior] Stydd, Ribchester
Successive restoration work has been carried out on this medieval Church over its thousand years of existence. The north and south walls appear to lean outwards at the top, not a lens distortion, they really do look like that.
The name of 'Stydd' simply means, Farm or small holding. This church is a living breathing museum. With many parts of it going back to its origins of 1136ad.
The Church is open most days, with an offering box for contributions towards its upkeep and maintenance work. There are booklets and leaflets explaining the Church's history. Services are still held periodically as St Saviours is in the Parish of St Wilfreds.
The Post Code for the Church is PR3 3XS, about half a mile from the medieval town of Ribchester.
