About the memorial: Ancient Crosses in the Churchyard The tallest of the crosses with the damaged top is the "Saint Neot" cross thought to have been given by Prince Alfred (later to become King Alfred) who visited the Saint Neot here. Read the page on this website about him via this link. The cross has been verified by Saxon experts as being contempoary with the era. Most of the other crosses are modern, some being medieval and others later in the 16th century. "The Lantern Cross here has been used as a war memorial to honour the soldiers and sailors from the village who died from fighting in the first world war (1914-1918). The two metal spherical balls at its base are considered by some to be “chain shoot”. This much travelled cross has been situated in many different places in its life, Trewarne Manor, Luxulyan, Helston and St Neot. It is cut from Cataclews Greenstone. It possibly dates from the 15th century." St Neot Church
