In his entry for St. Neot's, Gorham (1820) writes: "One mile N.E. of Dosmerry-Pool, are some remains of a Chapel dedicated to St. Luke; the antient font still remains". [NB: we have not been able to locate the site, nor do we have any information on this font]. An article entitled 'Roche Rock, Cornwall, UK' appeared in the Fortean Traveller [text: Loic Rich / Images: Katerina Boijer] [www.forteantimes.com/features/fortean_traveller/89/roche_rock_cornwall_uk.html] [accessed 24 April 2012] notes: "off the A30, eight miles (13km) south-west of Bodmin, towards Roche (pronounced 'Roach') village. [...] The ruined chapel on the summit of the Rock's centre crag was dedicated to St Michael in 1409". [NB: not known whether these two chapels are one or connected]
