Crows-an-Wra
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Crows-an-Wra is a small hamlet in the parish of St. Buryan in the Penwith district of Cornwall, United Kingdom.
The hamlet consists of a main cluster of dwellings about 5 miles (8 km) along the A30 from Penzance, as well as some others more distant including those at Boscarne. The name Crows-an-Wra translates from the Cornish as "witches crossing" and there is evidence that the site was important in neolithic times, including a nearby celtic cross and a holy well. The hamlet once had its own methodist chapel, but this has since fallen into disuse and has subsequently been converted into housing.
