140 THE QUETHIOCK CROSS. 



The head or cross bears a strong resemblance to the one in the 

 Churchyard of St. Columb Major.^' 



Until now the highest cross in East Cornwall was, I believe, 

 that in Lanivet f Churchyard, which Blight gives as ten feet six 

 inches. He also gives another at St. Ives, in "West Cornwall, 

 of a similar height. The Quethiock Cross therefore stands 

 nearly four feet higher than these. 



In the parish it is known as "the Monument." 



Our thanks are due to the Yicar of Quethiock for the care and 

 attention he has given to the erection in his parish of this the 

 latest, but by no means the least, addition to the number of our 

 grand old Cornish Crosses.
