A Quick cache and dash and the second of the cornish crosses series
We have noticed so many crosses on the roadside in Penwith so we have decided to start a cornish crosses series. Anyone wishing to add to ther series please contact us for the next available number.
some caches will not be by the cross for either safety to cachers or safety to the cross.
This wheel-headed wayside cross stands at the junction of the A30 and a minor road leading north by the east side of Chapel Carn Brea. It is crudely fashioned displaying simple cross with four equal arms. The stepped granite base is an early 20th century addition.
The name Crows-an-Wra translates from the Cornish as witches crossing and there is evidence that the site was important in neolithic times, including a nearby celtic cross and a holy well. The hamlet once had its own Methodist chapel, but this has since fallen into disuse and has subsequently been converted into housing.
