hallsifer visited on 30th May 2023 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 4 Massive stone cross with very faint carvings across the front and back. The church guide pamphlet puts it's height at 17'6" with 7ft still underground, as well as calling it the tallest of it's kind in Cornwall. It has a very faint carving at the top of three concentric circles and on the other side in a similar spot is a spiral.

There is quite a fine cross in the churchyard at St Mylor.
There were renovations during the 19th century and a granite post which had been used as a flying buttress against the south wall, was removed. On clearing away the earth, a 17 foot cross was discovered.
This cross is allegedly very old; local tradition believes it originally marked the grave of St Mylor. It is now relocated in the churchyard.
