Roche Rock, Cornwall by Baz Richardson (trying to catch up!) Roche Rock is virtually as near as it is possible to get to the very centre of Cornwall, yet the vast majority of visitors to the county are unlikely to be aware of its existence. The large rocky outcrop is just outside the village of Roche, which takes its name from the Norman-French word for rock. This is in china clay country to the north of St Austell in Cornwall. The rock stands on its own - rather like a moorland tor - surrounded by flat countryside, and is a form of granite consisting of two minerals - grey quartz and tourmaline. Built into the rock is the Grade One-listed Chapel of St Michael, dating from 1409. It has been a ruin for at least the past 250 years. https://flic.kr/p/2mrBeK2 -- source link
