A pilgrimage to an historic chapel perched high on cliffs in south east Cornwall has been revived.
The chapel on Rame Head, which is dedicated to St Michael, was first licensed for mass in 1397 and is believed to stand on the site of a much earlier Celtic hermitage.
As early as 1486, Plymouth paid a watchman to work from the building to warn shipping and relay important news to the city.
Historic events, like the return of the Newfoundland fishing fleet in 1543 and the approach of the Spanish Armada in 1588 were sighted there while the remains of a Second World War gun emplacement can still be seen.
A pilgrimage to the chapel was an annual event for some 20 years until it ceased in 2007 when numbers fell. But it was revived on Sunday when 35 people walked from Rame's Church of St Germanus to the chapel for a short service which was led by John Evans.
Worship leader Ken Ryles said: "It went extremely well, as well as we could have expected. There were visitors at the chapel looking around who joined us in the chapel.
"There were about 35 of us for the service which lasted about 10 minutes. Everyone seemed extremely pleased that we had decided to do the pilgrimage again.
"It answered the question we had asked ourselves of whether it was worth doing and we will be trying to keep it as an annual event from now on."
