Description

The cross located to the west of The Old Inn in St Breward is a resited medieval structure made of granite. It is rectangular in shape and features a shaft with moulded corners that has carvings on both faces and sides, although these carvings are partly eroded and difficult to make out. It is unclear if the cross originally had a wheelhead, as it seems to have been truncated at both the top and the base.
