Rame Head Chapel There was a hillfort atop Rame Head in the Iron Age, and the site was granted to Tavistock Abbey in the 10th century. Circumstantial evidence suggests that there was a late Celtic hermitage here, but nothing is known for certain about the origins of the chapel until 1397 when the chapel was licensed for Mass. Like many hilltop churches, Rame Head Chapel was dedicated to St Michael the Archangel. The chapel is an extremely simple single-cell rectangular building, built of slate and granite rubble under a gabled roof. There is a single door on the north (landward) side. It was restored by the 4th Earl of Mount Edgcumbe in 1882 but fell into disuse in the early 20th century and has remained a ruin since then. <span class="nowrap"><a title="https://www.britainexpress.com/counties/cornwall/churches/rame-chapel.htm" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="https://www.britainexpress.com/counties/cornwall/churches/rame-chapel.htm">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span>
