Description

The cross in the churchyard, located about 6 metres south of the south aisle of the Church of St Hydroc, is a churchyard cross that is probably pre-Conquest in origin. It was restored and re-sited in the early 19th century, likely by Anna Maria Hunt, who inherited Lanhydrock in 1798. The cross is made of granite and stands approximately 3 metres high. It was originally topped with a wheelhead. The shaft is rectangular and features carved panels on the front and rear, with plaitwork on the front and scroll designs on the rear. The head has been re-set to form a Latin cross, and it formerly included the outer rim of a wheelhead, with a roughly raised circle at the centre.
