Log Text: 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.

Visited Wednesday 19th June 2002
Take the road south through Mabe Burnthouse (SW of A39, W of Penryn & Falmouth). When the church becomes clearly visible, take the junction to the right on a sharp bend. The church is on the left and convenient parking adjacent the cemetery.
There is a narrow squeeze through a hole in the wall, into a very old-feeling graveyard; the midsummer canopy of the trees giving it a very dark entry. Following the tarmac path, th...

Ventongassick submitted by KiwiBetsy on 17th Oct 2006. Steps lead down into the well which sits below ground level. It appeared to have been fitted with a pump but had a deep pool of water.

Log Text: Very risky if care is not taken - cars whip by increidbly fast. Lovely well with steps going down, the water is audiable even running deeper than the well walls suggest. Take care when wet - leaves make it slippy :-)

Log Text: Lovely well! Shame the door was locked, holding a phone camera up to the gaps in the door there's some view but I would've loved to see what it's like open. The door carving is delightful and in great condition, and a plaque on the wall states it's been there since the 6th Century.

Log Text: Short walk down a right of way, was very overgrown when I visted but still lovely to see. The pump is a very good marker of where it is, since without knowing it was already there and what to look for I could've walked right past.

Log Text: A very easy to access site (and one that I'd consider hidden in plain sight - driven past many times and not realised the history of the area). Sight from top of one of the barrows is gorgeous and from there it is easy to spot the other two further along. Has an information board on the way in if coming from the town side that's weathered but has a lot of information about the area.

Log Text: Absolutely gorgeous stone with bright clear carvings. There's a informational card at the base of the stone for local insight into how it came to be in the church. The church itself is also absolutely stunning with two stone crosses in its gardens and old wall paintings within the church that survived whitewashing.

Log Text: Lovely cross situated on a granite plinth that isn't original to it. Church notice board has some information on it - originally called the Seaureaugh Cross, it was removed from the mill with the same name in 1910 with permission from Captain William Frances Tremayne.

Boskenna Cross submitted by enkidu41 on 15th Nov 2004. The shot shows the principal face of the cross with its depiction of Christ.
The three-part base is out of all proportion to the cross. The look of stability is deceptive given its three damaging brushed with modern traffic!
