The Tale of the Cross
The venue is named after the granite stone
cross situated 15yards from the driveway entrance. The book "Historic Routes & Trackways" ( & ) states that in West Penwith it was common for granite
crosses to be erected in medieval period to direct the rural
parishioners to church. It is uncertain whether this is the case in this
instance but the cross design is similar to the short cross outside
Helland House near Treverva. This house stands on old priory buildings
and would have had an associated church which the Trewardreva cross may
have pointed towards. The Trewardreva stone is a wheel-headed cross with
a height of 7ft, a diameter of 1ft 8" for the head, a width
of 1ft 3" at the neck and the shaft has a width of 1ft 4". The stone was
reportedly found by a farmer in a near-by field to moved it to its
current roadside position.
There is obviously a rich history in this
location with the Pisky Hall fogou less than 500yards away and a
palaeolithic hand axe having been found in 1979 in a garden of
Trewardreva and donated to Truro Museum. Trewardreva Manor house was
recorded as having been built in the 1600's.
