   St Dennis Churchyard Cross submitted by AngieLake
Ancient Cross in Cornwall
This lovely old cross stands inside St Dennis churchyard. This site was once an Iron Age hill fort, known in Cornwall as a dinas, or dynas.
See the Hill fort pages for St Dennis for further information.
In his website: http://homepages.tesco.net/~k.wasley/Dennis.htm, Mr Wasley tell us that:
"The stone cross standing in the churchyard is of great antiquity. It appears to have Clepshydra or hour glasses on the shaft, and there could be an inscription on the pedestal, which might be revealed if the earth were taken away."
"1087 - Christian building on this site entered in the Doomsday as Landinas or Landiner. St Denys Church, Temple or Chapel. .... The church appears to have been originally a chantry chapel...."
This cross stands beside the main path, approached from the southern entrance through large double wrought iron gates, to the south porch of the church. The cross seems very clean on its rear side, as if it had laid on that side for some time while gathering lichen on its other face. In my memory the western and northern part of the churchyard were very atmospheric, even more so than this area.

This is the front of St Dennis churchyard cross, the side nearest the path to the south porch of the church. It is covered in lichen, unlike the rear and sides.
