Several ancient crosses stand in the churchyard, but the carved cross probably dates from about the 10th century. The parish is the second largest in Cornwall and there was a college of priests active here in 1066. Another carved cross of this type can be seen at Copplestone, near Crediton, in Devon, which has been credited as a Saxon rather than a Cornish creation
