Ancient Cross in Cornwall
This wayside cross is located not far from Sennen. It is a wheel head cross which is decorated with a Latin cross on both sides. It was rediscovered in February 1973 and was built in to the hedge. It seems that every cross in Sennen parish is or was either built in to a hedge or is right by a hedge. The only cross which isn’t is Sennen Green Cross, although that was built in to a hedge before it was destroyed by the farmer in April 2019.
