Two Cornish Crosses At South End Of Garden And Approximately 175 Metres South Of Scorrier House

There are two Cornish crosses located at the south end of a garden, approximately 175 metres south of Scorrier House. These medieval crosses are made of granite and both are of the wheelhead type with integral shafts.

The first cross, identified by Dexter and Dexter as Scorrier No.1, is the smaller of the two. It stands about 1.5 metres high and is mounted on a modern rectangular base. The shaft is rectangular in section with chamfered corners and features sunk oval panels on each face. The south face displays a raised figure of Christ, while the north face has a raised Latin cross.

The second cross, identified by Langdon as Scorrier No.2, is larger, approximately 3 metres high, and is set on a mound about 5 metres northeast of the first cross. This cross is also rectangular in section and has a small head with sunk panels featuring a cross on each side. Thick shrubbery around the shaft made closer inspection difficult, but Langdon's drawings indicate that it has intricate zig-zag and saw-tooth decoration on all sides, along with a ring around each cross. According to Langdon, this cross originally stood in the parish of St Wendron at the junction of the road to Stythian and the Helston-Penryn road, but was purchased by the Williams family in 1849 and relocated to its current site.
