High Cross is a hamlet in south Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is situated one mile east of Constantine village and approximately four miles (6 km) southwest of Falmouth.
High Cross is in the civil parish of Constantine, Cornwall. In 1993 a mediaeval stone cross was found built into a collapsing Cornish hedge at the junction of the road from Constantine to Penryn and the road from Mawnan Smith. The cross was re-erected nearby, at the crossroad, in April 2000.
Famous quotes containing the word high:
“And since our Daintie age,
Cannot indure reproofe,
Make not thy selfe a Page,
To that strumpet the Stage,
But sing high and aloofe,
Safe from the wolves black jaw, and the dull Asses hoofe.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
