end of garden and approx. 175
Dec 1949 metres south of Scorrier House
(formerly listed as "2 stone
crosses Scorrier House")
GV
II*
Two Cornish crosses. Medieval. Granite, both wheelhead type, with integral
shafts. No.l: the smaller of the two (identified by Dexter and Dexter as Scorrier
No.1), mounted in a modern rectangular base, is rectangular in section and
approx. 1 1/2 metres high, with chamfered corners to the shaft, and a sunk oval
panel in each face, with a raised figure of Christ on the south face and a raised
Latin cross on the north face. No.2: the larger of the two (identified by Langdon
as Scorrier No.2), is set on a mound approx. 5 metres to the north-east of the
first, and is rectangular in section and approx. 3 metres high, with a small head
which has sunk panels with a cross in each side. Thick shrubbery round the shaft
prevented closer inspection, but the drawings by Langdon show complicated zig-
zag and saw-tooth decoration on all sides of the shaft, and a ring round each
cross. According to Langdon, this formerly stood in the parish of St Wendron, at
the junction of the road to Stythian with the Helston-Penryn road, but was
bought by the Williams family in 1849, and brought here. References:
