More information : Cross near Newlyn Church. 'The Rev W.S. Lach-Szyrma, vicar of Newlyn, told me that the cross was dug up, some twenty years ago (c. 1870), from a field on the Trereiffe estate. Ultimately he gave it to the vicar of Newlyn, to be fixed in the church, churchyard or grounds. The head is inclined considerably to the right, and both arms are raised.
'Back - on this face is a Latin cross, the ends of the limbs of
which are slightly rounded. The lower portion of the stone is
cut back about two inches, terminating the bottom limb in a
segmental end'.

The cross 0.5m high, as described and illustrated by Langdon,

SW 4614 2908 on the S side of St Peter's Church, a modern base and
pillar supports the head of a medieval cross. The head is 0.45m long,
0.3m wide and 0.35m deep with, in relief, a Latin cross on the reverse and a Crucifixion on the front. The whole is cut from very coarse grained granite and so crudely executed as to be almost like a rough-out, unless it has been much damaged. (5)
