Maker occupies a great part of the promontory and peninsula, which juts out into the English Channel on the West side of Plymouth Sound, and the South side of the harbour of Hamoaze, opposite Stonehouse and Devonport. The whole parish is in the Archdeaconry of Cornwall and Deanery of East. Millbrook was created from part of Maker in 1867. The parish was united with Rame in 1943 to form Maker with Rame Parish. It is in the extreme South-East of Cornwall separated from Plymouth by the stretch of water known as 'Plymouth Sound'. The two villages in Maker and Rame are Kingsand and Cawsand. Maker-with-Rame is now part of the Caradon District Council.
