Abstract: |
At Paul, in West Penwith, are two fragments of decorated crosses of early medieval origin. One is the shaft of a cross, the other a cross-head; there is a possibility that both were at one time part of the same monument. The work took place early in 2009 to stabilise the cross-head and to investigate whether the shaft and the head were at one time united. The cross head was found to be fixed to the churchyard wall by a totally inadequate iron pin; this was replaced with a sturdier pin of stainless steel. The investigation of the shaft suggested that although it is likely that the shaft and head are parts of the same monument, this cannot be proved with absolute certainty. |
