The chapel on Chapel Rock and St Michael's Mount on a map from Henry VIII's reign; interestingly, Chapel Rock is shown still attached to the mainland on here: http://www.bl.uk/onlinegallery/onlineex/unvbrit/m/001cotaugi00001u00034000.html …pic.twitter.com/V1hW4vDruz
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

Another interesting coastal chapel site is St Helen's Chapel, Cape Cornwall; a very early Chi-Rho stone was found here (5thC?), but has subsequently been lost (pic: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2106157 )pic.twitter.com/ISO5YsY4zB
The reported site of a medieval chapel on the Towans looking towards Godrevy; the location recorded is immediately in the foreground of this photograph, although there are no visible remains.pic.twitter.com/RzoJsSmzxW
Visited this one at Heysham in 2009. Early medieval coastal chapels really reinforce the idea that the sea wasn't an obstacle for our ancestors, it was their highway.pic.twitter.com/R3a83bsI73
Lovely! Some fascinating rock-cut tons there too, iirc! And yes, a fair point! :)
