Sancreed

In the churchyard of 15th century St Credan’s Parish Church can be found five Celtic Crosses, some of the many that are scattered around Cornwall. One in particular, at 9 feet high, and of the wheel-head shape, is the best example of its kind in the county. The existence of Sancreed Holy Well nearby and the curious circular formation of the site suggests that the church is built on much older foundations. In the surrounding area of Sancreed are two Bronze Age monuments, the Blind Fiddler and the Two Sisters. Like many Cornish ‘menhirs’ they are said to represent human beings turned to stone for committing irreligious acts on the Sabbath. In the 19th century, bone fragments and ashes were found at the base of the Blind Fiddler, not by an official dig but by a treasure hunter.
