With its focus on ancient crosses and their significance, this work is an invaluable resource for historians and civic activists interested in the intersection of faith and community identity. Baring-Gould's engaging narrative invites readers to explore the enduring legacy of Cornwall, making it essential reading for anyone passionate about regional history and folklore.
