Rame Church is dedicated to St. Germanus, the fighting German bishop who is supposed to have landed in the neighbourhead when he came to England to suppress the Pelagian heresy in about AD400.
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 & 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 & arcade added, & some new windows.
The South aisle wagon roof is original, & some pews survive from the 16th Century, with Devon-style tracery on the bends-ends. There were restorations in 1848 & 1886, when slates replaced the stone-shingled roof.
The church still has no electricity & is lit by candles.
