Description

This is a Grade II* listed cross located approximately 1 metre north of the Church of Saint Wenappa in Gwennap. The cross dates from around the 13th century and is made of granite, featuring a round head and a square base. It has been resited and repaired.

On the north side, there is a cross in relief on the shaft, topped with a bulbous head that has a convex moulded border surrounding a sunk panel. This panel displays a relief carving of Christ with outstretched arms, with His feet extending under the border and resting on the crossbar. The south side features a broad Latin Cross that nearly fills the head, also with a convex moulded border.

Originally, this cross stood on a hedge at Chapel Moor nearby but was moved to the vicarage garden around 1840 by the Reverend Thomas Philpotts. Part of the shaft was used in a nearby stile until the two parts were reassembled in the mid-20th century. Information about its former locations can be found in "History of Gwennap" by C.C. James.
