Some other ways in which our Lord is depicted may be seen in Old Cornish Crosses, 120.

CROSSES WITH PROJECTIONS AT THE NECK This type exhibits the first development, in the introduction of an architectural feature on a plain wheel cross, whereby the form of its outline is changed. The projections consist of a bold bead running from front to back of the stone on either side of the neck, i.e., the junction of the head and shaft. It is a quaint and curious type, and being peculiar to the county may be called, par excellence, the Cornish Cross. There are altogether thirty-one examples of this type, an inclusive list of which is given below. Some of them, however, possess certain additional characteristics which place them in other groups, and to distinguish the latter from those now under consideration, they have been marked with an asterisk. Allen, St. In churchyard (fig. 66), Trevalsa ; Altarnun Trekennick ; Boconnoc On Druid's Hill ; Bodmin Carminnow* ; Camborne In churchyard,* Outside the Institute *; Cleer, St. The Longstone* ; Clether, St. On Basil Barton, 4, viz., No. I, by Inney Bank (fig. 63). No. 2, near Basil farmhouse. No. 3, Cross gates. No. 4, near Tarret Bridge ; Davidstow Trevivian ; Day, St. Scorrier, in grounds,* No. 2 ; Eastbourne (Sussex) In Manor House grounds* ; Egloshayle ' Three-hole-Cross ' *; Gwinear On Connor Down* ; Gwithian In churchyard ; Juliot, St. In churchyard, No. 2 (fig. 64) ; Laneast On Laneast Down ; Lanteglos by Came/ford In churchyard (2) ; Lesnewth In churchyard ; Lewannick Holloway Cross (fig. 65), Trelaske* ; Mylar In churchyard* ; Penzance In Library garden* ; Perranzabuloe On Perran Sands* ; Phillack In a field ; Roche In churchyard* ; Wendron, St. In Mrther Uny old churchyard.* The simpler forms of this type are all pretty much alike, varying chiefly in the form of the cross on the head, or the shape of the space containing it. Three examples in the foregoing list have the addition of a central boss on the head, viz. : Boconnoc On Druid's Hill ; Gwithian In churchyard ; Lanteglos by Came/ford 1 In churchyard ; and in the last named there are four more bosses, one in each of the spaces between the limbs of the cross and the bead on the edge of the head. There is a unique example at New Park, St. Clether (fig. 67), where in addition to the projections at the neck there is a rectangular projection on the top of the head. 429
