I read on St Buryan parish church website that St Buryan is said to have more wayside crosses than any other parish in Cornwall and that one of the reasons for this could be that in AD930 King Athelstan gave St Buryan extended or Chartered sanctuary which meant that if someone had committed a capitol offence they could remain in the chartered sanctuary provided they behaved themselves and obeyed the church's officers. This chartered sanctuary possibly extended one and a half miles around the church, and thus the wayside crosses could have served a dual purpose of marking the way to church and also the boundary of the chartered sanctuary.
