Description
The ancient church of St Mylor, or Melorus on the south coast of Cornwall near Falmouth, boasts a 17-foot high Celtic cross found being used as a buttress during a restoration of the church in the late 19th century. The cross, now re-erected in the churchyard, is said to have marked the original site of St Mylor's grave. Nearby are graves of many packet ship captains and sailors.
Also in the churchyard are graves to over 60 sailors who served aboard the HMS Ganges. The vessel was moored at Mylor for many years and was infamous for the difficult conditions and harsh discipline exercised by the ship's captain on the crew.
