A Grade I Listed Building in Maker-with-Rame, Cornwall

Church of St Germanus, Rame, Cornwall - the interior

Uploader's Comments

The Church of St Germanus at Rame in the far south-east of Cornwall dates from the 13th century and was actually consecrated in 1259. It is believed to have been built on earlier foundations, and there are Norman remains here. The church is unusual for two reasons. Firstly, unlike the vast majority of Cornish churches it actually features a spire, and secondly it is lit by candles as it has no electricity. The tall candle holders can be seen at the end of each pew, while candle holders also hang from the ceiling. There is also a row of them along the top of the rood screen.
