Parish church, formerly hospital chapel
Stydd is a small collection of buildings - the church, cottages, a farm and an 18thc Roman Catholic church - a very short walk from Ribchester. The church is a single-celled building, with an Early English S doorway, and an E window with intersecting tracery. The N wall has two small lancets, while the S wall has a very tall narrow one. The W wall has a Y-tracery window, and a blocked opening high up. The monastic buildings seem to have been to the N of the church, but excavations have not proved conclusive. There are now some sheds erected over the area.
