Maker, Cornwall
Maker ( kw, Magor) is a village between Cawsand and Rame Head, Rame Peninsula, Cornwall, United Kingdom. The name means ''a ruin'' or ''old wall'' in Cornish, possibly because the church was built from the ruins of West Stonehouse in Cremyll.

Another supposition, is that the "old walls" are those of a (now lost) Roman-British villa. However, another Celtic name is ''Egloshayle'', (not to be confused with Egloshayle on the River Camel) which means, "the church on the estuary". The village and its neighbour Rame are in the civil parish of Maker with Rame and the parliamentary constituency of South East Cornwall. The parish had a population of 1,020 at the 2011 census.
