Summary edit

Description
English: St Michael chapel, Lammana These are the remaining signs of the medieval chapel of St Michael, which was originally built in the 12th century, and became disused at the Reformation in 1548.

It was actually one of two such chapels, the other being on Looe Island just offshore, but pilgrims found it a risky (life-threatening...) business getting to and from the island, what with the rough seas and everything; hence the monks built an onshore chapel as well.

The site was excavated as an archaeological investigation in the late 1930s, at which time 2 or 3 human burials were found under the floor, along with quantities of pottery which are thought to have been brought to the site when it was used as a dwelling between the mid 1500s and the 1900s.
