Ribchester, St Wilfrid's Church 1894

More about this scene
The church is dedicated to St.Wilfrid, the Archbishop of York in the 660s. Wilfrid is a northern dedication, and usually denotes an ancient church. Ribchester was once a Roman fort (Bremetennacum), and it was situated by an important ford of the River Ribble. In front of the church is the graveyard; here it is not looking at its best, and very uneven. The fact that the churchyard is circular suggests that it follows the line of some earlier Roman structure. Nearby is Ribchester Museum, which is devoted to the Romans who lived here more than 1,500 years ago.
