At the bottom end of Lesingey Lane, there is a farm called Park an Growes. The meaning of this name in English is ‘The Cross Field’ and the name comes from the name of a nearby field.

There is a footpath which runs from the farm through three fields to a point on the Penzance to St Just road, about half a mile to the south-west of Tremethick Cross. In a hedge next to the footpath in the first field can be found an old cross, sometimes overgrown with plants, from which the field and farm take their names.

The cross was made in the medieval period, perhaps to mark the path to the parish church. The head of the cross is somewhat round and without decoration, with moss and ivy growing on it.
