Cornwall, England

Island Chapel / St Ives

Uploader's Comments

More correctly known as St Nicholas Chapel, the present building's form is thought to be C14, although churches on this site may go back as far as C5. Granite rubble with slate roof, now a restoration. Grade II listed. 'The Island' is actually a peninsular. St Ives. Cornwall.
