Visiting a cache in a 13th century English Church.
“A rugged remnant on a cliff
The rugged remains of this medieval church sit dramatically on a cliff above Stoke Bay. It has a strangely monastic feel to it. The aisle and porch have carved wagon roofs, but the rest of this atmospheric church is a picturesque ruin as it was abandoned by parishoners around 1870 in favour of the new church built at Noss.”
“The medieval church has Saxon origins with portions being built in the 13th, 14th and 15th centuries.
It is still consecrated and occasional services are held in the church during the summer.”
“The dedication to St Peter 'the Poor Fisherman' is a curious one. In ancient times the church appears to have been known simply as 'St Peters'. It is possible that the name was altered in 1882 when the new St Peter's Revelstoke was built, and the name changed to distinguish between the two churches.”
