SE face of a Medieval wayside cross re-erected near the centre of the cemetery 65m W of St Uny's Church, Lelant, Cornwall, England, UK. It has an upright granite shaft & a round wheel head with a Latin cross carved in relief. It is just over 2m tall. The NW face bears a large relief figure of Christ with his arms outstretched & his head inclined to one side. It was recorded in the 1850s standing in Lelant Lane NW of the church, by 1896 it had been moved to its present position in the western cemetery. There are several other relocated wayside crosses iaround the church & an in situ churchyard cross 25m S of the church. Many of the modern graves are marked by ancient-looking Celtic & Latin crosses. The modern St Michael's Way path runs for some 12 miles from Lelant to St Michael's Mount.
