Godolphin Cross lies half-hidden in a valley on the Hayle to Helston road

 

1856: “The only reference to Herland Cross Band is of them leading a large and impressive procession celebrating the end of the war with Russia. By this date they were almost certainly a ‘brass band’. The event took place in Marazion but they were almost certainly an ad hoc band – all established bands would have already been booked in their own towns for an event such as this. (John Brush)

There is no mention of a leader.” (John Brush)
