ST COLUMB MAJOR

1555/0/10042 (South side) 19-OCT-10 Milestone approx 28m south-east of Tre kenning Cottage

II DESCRIPTION: A milestone, erected in the mid-C19. The granite stone is triangular on plan with a rectangular base and a pyramidal top. It is approximately 1m high and is inscribed on its front (west and east) faces BODMIN / TRURO / ST AUSTLE; TREBADANNON / 1M / NEWLYN / CRANTOCK / 9M / CUBERT 10, respectively with direction arrows below the inscriptions. The pyramidal top is inscribed: ST COLUMB / 1M to its north (front) face. The whole milestone is painted white, with the lettering picked out in black.

HISTORY: The milestone is one of a small group erected on several parish roads near St Columb Major in the mid-C19 by the St Columb Highway Board, which was responsible for roads in the parish from 1835. The roads were never adopted as main roads or turnpike roads, and as such are unusual in having milestones. Other milestones erected by this Board are of a similar design, although none have an inscription to the pyramidal top like this example.
