NOTOC Hendra is the name of eight hamlets in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.

Hendra derives from the Cornish "hendre", meaning "home farm". There are also places in Ladock, St Ives, St Just and St Teath called Hendra. It could also mean "old farm".

Hendra Cross

A stone wayside cross was found at Hendra Farm, Menheniot in the early 1960s. It had been buried upside down in the ground to form a gatepost. In 1991 the two separate pieces of the cross were repaired and erected on a new base near Hendra farmhouse.

Another cross sometimes known as Hendra Cross is at a crossroads near Bossiney.
