Boskenna Cross
The ancient cross head was found in a hedge during roadworks in 1869 and remounted in a purpose made grass triangle in the middle of the road on a new base. This turned out not to be compatible with the thick coastal fog: it was hit by an army lorry in 1941, then later by another vehicle, at which point it was moved to its present location in a lay-by. Even in the lay-by, a car still managed to hit it in thick fog in 1992. It is inscribed with a figure with outstretched arms and feet on the front which is thought might represent Christ, and a four-armed wheel cross on the rear. The cross base was made from an old granite field roller, a millstone and the base of a cider press.
