![]() O/S Grid Ref: SX/54040/67225 Longitude/Latitude (Degrees+/-): -4.05886/50.48660 Map location: Click here to view map. Purpose: Church crosses. Size: Not known. Information: This octagonal cross is set on the apex of the transept. Immediately below the cross and above the window a large slab has been set back into the wall. This slab bears a cross carved in relief on its surface. The head and arms of the relief cross are unusual in that they each have a bar across them. This gives the appearance of three small crosses all converging, from different angles, at the face of the main cross.
This, the third of the crosses on the church roof (SX54033/67220), is set on the apex of the aisle and is octagonal in shape.
Immediately outside the main gate of the churchyard stands the ancient Meavy Oak, which is believed to have been planted at the same time as the original, Norman, church was built. Further details of this can be found on our page for the Meavy Village Cross, which stands beneath the shade of this magnificent tree. |
