The Pendrea Cross

Image: © Richard Law Taken: 24 Dec 2015

Originally located at the entrance to Pendrea Farm, about 350 yards to the southwest, this medieval wayside granite cross is a Scheduled Ancient Monument, and is thought to date from the 12th or 13th century. It was first moved from there to its present location in the late 1950s, but in 2001 was observed to be loose on its base and disappearing beneath overhanging vegetation, and a programme of work to stabilise and bring it back into view was undertaken a couple of years later.
