More about this scene
The top part of the cross was discovered in the 19th century at Tresmarrow Farm, and was put in the town museum. A few years later the octagonal shaft was found by a Mr Coode, the owner of Badash Farm. The cross base already stood at Badash, and Mr Coode financed the making of a new lower shaft and lower base so that the whole cross could be erected on 27 June 1902 to commemorate the coronation of Edward VII. The cross was moved in 1974 during the building of the by-pass; it was later replaced near is original site.
