Wayside cross-base 300m north west of the Church of St Newlina is a scheduled monument consisting of the stone base of a medieval wayside cross located in Cornwall. The base represents a typical form of roadside religious marker from the medieval period, when such crosses served practical and spiritual functions for travellers and pilgrims within the locality. The monument survives as evidence of medieval religious practice and the organisation of the landscape around ecclesiastical centres such as the nearby Church of St Newlina. Such wayside crosses were common features throughout medieval Cornwall and the broader South West, marking boundaries, routes, and devotional sites before many were destroyed or lost during later periods.
