Three Hole Cross
Three Hole Cross submitted by theCaptain : The nearly 6 feet tall cross takes its name from the three holes bored through the head to produce the cross - a fourth hole at the bottom of the cross has not been made completely through the shaft. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Near a multiple junction with the busy A39 a few miles to the north of Wadebridge, this lovely cross has been restored and remounted on a large granite base in a nice little piece of landscaped land beside the busy junction.
