Geocache Description:

Small round tub hidden near the church of St Germanus. There are two other nice caches (not ours) at nearby Rame head if you fancy making a morning of it!


A small round tub with a snap on lid hidden near the ancient mediaeval church of St Germanus in the village of Rame. The cache is not inside the church grounds, but we thoroughly recommend a wander around whilst you are there as it's very pretty.

THE CHURCH is dedicated to St. Germanus, the fighting German bishop who is supposed to have landed in the neighbourhood when he came to England to suppress the Pelagian heresy in about AD 400. It is all built of rough slate. The first stone building was consecrated in 1259. The slender, unbuttressed tower with its broached spire (an unusual feature in a Cornish church), the north wall, north aisle and the chancel are all probably of this date, when the church was cruciform in shape. The south transept went in a 15th century extension with a south aisle and arcade added, and some new windows. The south aisle wagon roof is original, and some pews survive from the 16th century, with Devon- style tracery on the bench-ends. There were restorations in 1848 and 1886, when slates replaced the stone-shingled roof. The church still has no electricity, and is lit by candles.
