Boskenna Cross is a lovely wayside cross perched on a modern base made of a granite roller with a milstone as it's base. It was rescued from the hedge in 1869 and has been moved a few times thanks to modern traffic finding it quite a fun target. It has carvings of a cross & Jesus on it's faces (common in wayside markers in Kernow).

Reflecting on a Fallen Friend During a Gloomy April
Good evening, vampire hunters.
On Easter Sunday, Tobias, Ioana and her otter companion, Gani had traveled to a cross in the remote highlands in the Conifers Kingdom to visit the grave of a historian that dedicated his life to preserving documents of an ancient civilization ruled by machines. A long time ago in Ioana's childhood before she joined Frederick’s band of heroes, she came to be acquainted with this man at her mother’s cafe while he was waiting for her to pour his cappuccino. Ioana asked why he was interested in this type of coffee and his answer was that it was a popular drink in this civilization. Coffee beans were once cultivated in this industrious society and since it valued hard work in a time where an intergalactic empire plotted to wipe it out, there was little room for rest. Ioana wondered how a civilization with state-of-the-art technology could not flourish into the twenty-first century. The historian wished to find answers and one day open a museum for astronomers to study in once his research is complete. Ioana traveled with him for a year and a half to locate surviving pieces of computers before he embarked on an expedition in Florida. Every day, she would ask her mother about him in the hope he’d stop by the café again and her answer was always, “He’s a wanderer that has seen different worlds. He’ll be okay.” One Halloween night, Ioana came by the café after trick-or-treating and she found her distraught mother reading a letter that the historian sent her. She approached her and asked her usual question. Her mother said nothing and handed her the letter. The historian was chased by the Veiled Nocturne and had been captured minutes after he delivered the letter through a portal small enough to fit his hand. His fate remained unknown, but rumors that circulated through the town the next day hinted that Dracula had him sentenced to death. It is said that he discovered a secret that he did not want his enemies to uncover and keeping him as one of the unliving would be too big of a risk. The only object Ioana had kept to remember her time with the historian was a hand-sized mechanism used to predict the appearance of constellations and eclipses. She had found it in a swamp on the outskirts of Vireo City.

Thinking back to that painful night, Ioana shed a tear while stroking Gani’s back. She regretted her inability to save this historian from meeting such a tragic end even though she was too powerless to step in without risking her own life. She vowed that in his memory, she will locate remnants of the fallen civilization in her travels so that the magical sector can learn from its downfall and stand up to the Veiled Nocturne. If they allow Dracula to conquer London, the light will burn out like a lone candle in an empty room and all that has made the world of magic a wondrous place will be lost. Ioana gives the cross a sad smile and gives Gani a kiss. She whispers to him, “We can complete his work...It will be hard, but we’re going to have lots of fun. I promise.” She and Tobias walks down a hilltop to a river bank where Frederick and the group have set up camp. Cronix looks on as she leaves and nods his head with a smile on his face. Like Ioana, he knew the historian well. Photo by Philippe Bout on Unsplash.
A big thank you goes to KawaiiPixelArts for the baby chick that found a home at the gravesite.
Happy Easter Month!
Sincerely, WN

St Mylor cross is a massive stone cross located right outside the doors to St Mylor Church. It may have previously been a regular menhir without the cross design at the top - it would have been one of the largest in this part of Kernow at 17' 6".
The pamphlet in the church shop reckons the cross might have once stood as a disc-and-boss monolith. It has a carving on each side below the cross - one side has three concentric circles and the other has a spiral. Beneath that there are further carvings but it's hard to make out exact patterns.
