Carminow Cross, Medieval stone cross in Bodmin, England

The stone cross stands 3.65 meters tall with a wheel-head design featuring four triangular holes and decorative patterns on the granite structure.

Initially documented as Carmynowe's Crosse in 1613, the monument marked the intersection between the parishes of Bodmin, Lanhydrock, and Cardinham.

The cross represents medieval craftsmanship through its wheel-head design and raised bead decorations, differing from traditional Latin crosses found elsewhere in England.

Located at coordinates 50.4598, -4.69458, the cross stands at the junction of slip roads connecting the A30T and A38T trunk roads near Bodmin.

The monument underwent relocation and restoration in 1894, receiving a modern shaft and double-stepped granite base while maintaining its original upper section.

Location: Bodmin

GPS coordinates: 50.45980,-4.69458
