The churchyard cross shaft and base in St Petroc's churchyard is a medieval stone monument, located approximately thirty metres south-east of the church building. The cross dates to the medieval period and comprises a shaft and base, representing a form of monument common in Cornish churchyards from the twelfth century onwards. Such crosses served both functional and spiritual purposes within the sacred space of the churchyard, often marking boundaries or serving as focal points for processions and gatherings. The survival of both shaft and base elements indicates the monument's significance and the continuity of reverence afforded to it over subsequent centuries.
