When only 17 years old the future Reverend Hingeston-Randolph (he had changed his surname) made a collection of drawings of ancient Cornish stone crosses, fonts and various aspects of church architecture. Although several articles on old crosses had been previously published in periodical journals his book was the first to make a prominent feature of crosses - several of which have since been moved, lost or badly damaged.
