TheCaptain visited on 20th Jun 2025 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 5 Heading south from Colliford Lake, I stop for a look at Wenmouth Cross. It stands at a shady spot by a road junction, its upper arms broken.
Source: Cornwall HER, A mutilated latin cross at the Wenmouth cross roads is said to have been restored to its original site in 1932 by Liskeard Old Cornwall Society. It is set in a base which exactly fits the shaft, which was found in a roadside hedge on Tremorkin Farm (17142.02). Prior to 1932, the shaft had served as a gatepost on the NE side of Lampen Lane (17142.01) where it was recorded by Langdon.
