Abstract:
A medieval granite wayside cross at Kerris in Paul parish was repaired by the Scheduled Monument Management project of Historic Environment, Cornwall Council in late summer 2011. The main element of the work was to replace an internal iron pin, which had been holding the head to the shaft, with one of stainless steel, and to remove the stub ends of iron staples from the face of the shaft. In addition, the cross, which had been leaning, was straightened up. The work proved timely since it was found that the old iron pin, which was originally one inch (25mm) in diameter, had rusted to less than half an inch (12mm) at the centre where it was open to rainwater penetration through the joint. Moreover it was found that the original pin had been slightly too long for the holes that had been drilled for it, meaning that the head rocked slightly on the pin. This may explain why the staples had been added when the cross was restored in the 19th century.
