GermoeThis small rural village is home to St Germoe’s Parish Church. St Germoe, or St Germochus, was an Irish king and missionary who was the brother of St Breaca. Dating from the 12th century, the present church contains a remarkable Celtic font that is carved with a mysterious human head. In the porch are strange carvings of long-tailed monkeys, which were said to ward off evil. Built into the churchyard wall is St Germoe’s Chair, a curious covered seat. Some believe that St Germoe lies buried beneath it; however, the chair has been dated to Norman times. |
