This Medieval wheel head wayside cross is located in a hedge where Cross Street meets Church Street in the town of Helston.
The cross is recorded as "The cross survives as a decorated wheel-head and shaft in a modern base, set into a pavement and backing onto a garden hedge. The cross measures up to 0.9m high. The head and shaft are decorated on one side with a Latin cross in relief with flared arms and head, and the shaft of the relief cross extends down the shaft of the cross itself. The cross head was first described by Langdon in 1896. The shaft was found subsequently, in 1900, and incorporated into the pavement. The wayside cross is thought to be close to its original location."
