A wheelhead cross standing on a modern base near the south porch
of St Feock church. It is the old church-yard cross in situ,

transistion between the earlier crosses and those which are
entirely Gothic", see illustration; probably 18th century (4).

The figure in relief on the NW face wears a now mutilated
crown actually on the bead which is possibly later than the
figure itself.

The SE face is described by Langdon as a "foliated Gothic cross
of a beautiful design."
