Cross in churchyard

[edit]
Below is from the article.

There was a Cornish cross at Tredorwin; it was found in use as a building stone in a cottage at Coldharbour in 1880. (Reference. Langdon (1896), p. 118) It is now in the churchyard. This is listed building 1019167, which also gives the 1880 date.

There is a similar story in the Cornishman of 18th November 1886 (page 7), under the headline of Penzance Natural History and Antiquarian Society:

During the taking down the chimney of an old house, close to Towednack church recently, an ancient cross was discovered in the ruins by Mr W. K. Baker of Tredorwin. Mr Baker procurred the cross and it might now be seen in his garden. It was of granite. about three feet high, with widely cut circular stem and top.

Just wondering if these crosses are one and the same, with a mistake made in Langdon (1896). Jowaninpensans (talk) 11:06, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
