Description
St Keverne on the Lizard peninsula is one of the largest parishes in Cornwall consisting of the church town of St Keverne and the towns of Porthallow, Porthoustock and Coverack .
St Keverne Parish Church, St Akeveranus, was built in the 15th century.
It has a fairly distincitve tower with an octagonal spire. It is thought the spire was added to make the church an even more prominent daymark for mariners and to warn of the treacherous Manacles Reef just over a mile off shore. The name Manacles was derived from the old Cornish Maen Eglos meaning "Church Rocks".
