Winner of the Holyer an Gof Award 2022 (Leisure and Lifestyle)





An illustrated guide to one hundred of the finest early Cornish stone crosses, dating from around AD 900 to 1300. These characteristic features of the Cornish landscape are splendid examples of their type, exhibiting a wide geographical spread and a certain weather-beaten beauty.





The medieval stone crosses of Cornwall have long been objects of curiosity both for residents and visitors. This is the first ever accessible volume on the subject, combining detailed description and discussion of the crosses with information on access, colour images and suggestions for further reading. An approachable but academically rigorous work, it includes analysis of the decorative designs and sculptural techniques, accompanied by high-quality photographs which illustrate the subtleties of each cross, often hard to discern in situ.





Ancient and High Crosses of Cornwall offers an ideal introduction for the general reader but will also prove essential to local historians, landscape historians, archaeologists and anyone working in the area of Cornish studies or connected with the Cornish diaspora.

A precious volume, to be bought and used by all who cherish Cornwall and her past.  -- Andrew Breeze * Mediaevistik * With its well-illustrated, information-packed catalogue and good bibliography for further reading, this volume is an excellent invitation to both specialist and the uninitiated to explore the earliest, tallest and finest medieval crosses of Cornwall, and I certainly intend to try it out. -- Michael King * Down County Museum *
