The wayside cross and cross base in St Stephen's churchyard is a medieval stone monument positioned approximately six metres south of the church building. The structure comprises a granite cross head mounted upon a substantial base, typical of the crosses erected throughout Cornwall during the medieval period to serve both devotional and practical functions within parish communities. The cross base demonstrates the characteristic stonework of medieval monuments, whilst the cross head itself reflects the religious iconography and craftsmanship of its period. Such crosses functioned as focal points for processions, open-air worship, and community gatherings, and their survival within churchyard settings indicates their continued significance through subsequent centuries.
