Cornish Crosses. 



From time to time some of these monuments disappear, and 

 the task of tracing them is very often a difficult one. It is also 

 equally difficult at times, to find out from whence a cross came, 

 which one sees displayed in a private garden. Having been 

 unable to ascertain particulars about some of them, I should be 

 grateful to the readers of this Journal if they could give me 

 any information respecting the crosses given below. 



Is it known what has become of the following crosses ? 



Camhorne. Formerly on the top of a wall at Treslothan. 

 It has the figure on the front and a cross on the back. 



Cardinham. Blight, p. 84. "A cross about 6-ft. long, 

 forms part of the bridge over a small stream between the well 

 and the present church." 



Cury. I was once shewn a sketch of a short round headed 

 cross set in a circular base and was told, "it was three miles 

 from Cury." 



Laneast. Formerly in the churchyard, but removed within 

 the last few years. 



S. Keverne. Blight, p. 58. "A mutilated cross at S. 

 Keverne church town, &c." 



S. Columl. Blight, p. 66. "A cross by the road side 

 between Higher and Lower St. Columb." Would this road be 

 Treskey's Hill ? The stone is also mentioned in the Parochial 

 History of Cornwall. 



S. Cleer. Blight, p. 67. "A cross between Eedgate and 

 S. Cleer (see Eeport of Eoy. Inst. Cornwall, 1851)." Blight 

 illustrates the Longstone near the Hurlers, so these cannot be 

 the same crosses, though they are similar in type.
