Rame Head Chapel
The chapel, now just a shell, is dedicated to St Michael in common with many other mediaeval chapels in high, rocky places. The chapel was first licensed for Mass in 1397 and is thought to be on the site of a Celtic hermitage as the manor of Rame was owned by Tavistock Abbey in the 10th Century. The chapel is constructed of local slate and has a vaulted stone roof which has allowed it to survive so long, although it was restored in 1882. Remaining traces of mortar indicate that originally it would have been rendered and whitewashed both inside and out.
