Lanherne Cross is a standing cross located within the grounds of Lanherne Convent in Cornwall, England. The monument dates to the medieval period, likely the fourteenth or fifteenth century, and represents a type of devotional stone cross that was characteristic of Cornish religious landscapes during the later Middle Ages. The cross survives as a substantial stone structure, retaining its upright shaft and cross-head, though it has undergone some restoration and conservation work over the centuries. Its presence within the convent grounds reflects the religious significance of the site and the role such crosses played in marking sacred spaces and serving pilgrims and the monastic community.
