Today's Flickr photo(s) with the most hits: St Saviour's Church, Stydd.
There is evidence of a community at Stydd from the 12th century and there has been a place of worship on the site since no later than the 13th century, possibly since 1190. The church is the only one surviving of a group of buildings acquired by the Knights Hospitallers in the late 13th century.

The church of St Saviour, Stydd.
The Old Stydd, Ribchester
William Billington
Lonely as some proud pyramid That mystery maketh more sublime, Through the grey welkin of dull time Dim gleams thy sacred form, Old Stydd.
Thy ancient altar-fires lie hid Beneath a load, piled through the past; And thou the sway no longer hast O'er saints who sought thy shrine, proud Stydd.
The age of chivalry hath slid Down Time's declivity, alas! No more is heard the solemn mass Within thy cloistered walls, dark Stydd.
The present shrouds as with a lid Of adamant thy holiness, Yet fervent spirits, through the stress Of centuries, feel its force, blest Stydd.
Thou dost the years defiance bid— By moss and ivy overgrown, Simplicity hath fixed her throne On thy rude structure, ancient Stydd.
'Tis fabled that the Earthquake did Not thee molest when once it came Engulphing all; and hence thy name Tradition holds derived, charmed Stydd.
But, truth or fable, Death could rid— Thou mocker of mortality— The world of them, but not of thee— Thy worshippers—and builders—Stydd.
Though Mutilation chafed and chid And strongly smote thy changeless form, Like some stout ship, through calm and storm, Eight hundred years thou'st braved, grey Stydd.
Through the dim future may'st thou thrid Thy lonely pathway down the days, Till, bathed in the millennial rays, Thy dark form shall grow bright, weird Stydd.
Today's Flickr photo(s) with the most hits take us, again, to the old church at Stydd, Ribchester. It is used for occasional services and concerts.
Its simple form betrays its Norman origins, although the site may have Roman antecedents (Mithras? early Christian basilica?). Ribchester boasted a Roman fort at the river crossing.
