thumb|Celtic cross at Crows-an-Wra junction Crows-an-Wra (, meaning ''the witch's cross'') is a hamlet in West Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is situated in the civil parish of St Buryan, Lamorna and Paul approximately four miles (6 km) northeast of Land's End.
==History and description== The hamlet consists of a cluster of 13 houses along the A30 road, the oldest being the Grade II listed Haydon Cottage and other more distant dwellings including those at Boscarne and the hamlet of Rissick. Haydon Cottage was built in the 17th century; blacksmith William Haydon was born here in 1625 and died in London in 1666 in the Great Fire of London. The hamlet developed with the local mines of West Wheal Rissick, Wheal Lovell, and West Wheal Margaret, which in the mid-19th century produced high grade tin. The mines subsequently closed and a china clay works lies nearby.
