Polmenor Cross is a medieval stone cross located in Gwinear churchyard, approximately twelve metres north of the church building in Cornwall. The monument dates to the medieval period and represents the type of parish or wayside cross that served both devotional and practical functions in medieval Christian communities. The cross survives as a substantial upright stone monument, retaining evidence of its original form despite the weathering typical of standing stones exposed to the Cornish climate over centuries. Such crosses were commonly erected during the later medieval period and often marked significant locations within parish boundaries or served as focal points for religious observance and community gathering.
