Description

The Lantern Cross, dating from the 15th century, is located approximately 7 metres north-west of the Church of St Mawgan in Mawgan-in-Pydar. It is made of granite and features a canopied cross head set on a chamfered shaft and a slab. The four sides of the cross head are filled with figures, depicting the Annunciation scene to the north, a Bishop to the west, and the Trinity to the south. It has crocketted ogee arches at the truncated gable heads, with filled dowel holes indicating where lost pinnacles once stood. This cross is noted as a very fine surviving example of a Cornish lantern cross and is regarded by A.G. Langdon as "the best in Cornwall."
