There are also crosses in the vicarage hedge and on the churchyard wall (the latter has a crude crucifixus figure on one side).

All signs of the mine on the ground had disappeared by 1925, although quantities of ″wood tin″, continued to find their way into Cornish mineral collections.

For elections to Cornwall Council (the unitary authority) Paul is within the three-member Penzance Electoral division.
