The Rame Peninsula is the most extreme south east corner of Cornwall and forms the western edge of Plymouth Sound. Although close to Plymouth this is an isolated part of the county with an ancient history.
Rame Church was consecrated in 1259 and still lacks a supply of both mains water and mains electricity. Evening services are held by candle light. Since these photographs were taken in July 2010 restoration has commenced on the roof.
On Rame Head itself there is the remains of a 10th century chapel where the monks used to light fires to guide ships in and out of the port of Plymouth. To this day there is a yearly service held in the old chapel.
