Tall wayside cross, Ludgvan churchyard

This (probably medieval) wayside cross stands 1.7 metres tall at the edge of Ludgvan churchyard. It has been suggested the cross shaft now in the base may not belong to it, and that this base was possibly the base of the original churchyard cross. The ornately decorated shaft of the original churchyard cross is built into the steps of the church tower. There are two other crosses in the churchyard.
