Other lost medieval chapels on the Cornish coast include the chapel that once stood on Chapel Rock between St Michael's Mount & Marazion; this chapel was first mentioned in 1419 and is said to have been demolished in 1645.pic.twitter.com/UswNTFUpvw

The chapel on Chapel Rock was said to be newly built in 1419, when John Meger left 4d to the fabric of it in his will of that year; it has been suggested that the chapel served as the last shrine for pilgrims visiting St Michael's Mount.pic.twitter.com/5EQxIpTjde
A much older structure is found on the cliffs above Porth Chapel, just a little to the west of Porthcurno — the chapel found here, known as St Levan's Chapel, is believed to have its origins in the 7th or 8th century: http://awalkamongstthestones.blogspot.co.uk/2017/09/of-walks-and-crosses-cornwall-pt-1.html … & https://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1007285 …pic.twitter.com/vgxphcGpuV
Around 25m above St Levan's Chapel is St Levan's Well, which in its current form may date from the 18thC; note, St Levan is a modification of an original Selevan, from Salamun/Solomon: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/933661 & http://maps.nls.uk/view/101439638# & https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=JxIjiMStTKIC&lpg=PA227&pg=PA227#v=onepage&q&f=false …pic.twitter.com/MXtirz7wYk

Chapel Euny Well, Sancreed, Cornwall, is the site of another lost medieval chapel; the chapel, which had an unusual plan and orientation, was ruinous in the 19th century and has now gone, but dressed stone from it seems to be used around the top of the holy well.pic.twitter.com/XuzOXvUrxB
