The churchyard cross and three wayside crosses at St Neot in Cornwall form a significant group of medieval stone monuments. The principal churchyard cross is a substantial structure characteristic of late medieval design, standing within the burial ground of the parish church. The three associated wayside crosses represent examples of the type of monumental markers that once dotted the Cornish landscape, serving both religious and practical functions as boundary or meeting points. Together, these four crosses constitute an important assemblage documenting medieval religious practice and the development of stone working traditions in Cornwall during the later medieval period.
