Purpose: It would appear that this was a 6th century Christian memorial stone that has been turned into a wayside cross. Size: 7 feet (2.13 metres) tall. 1 foot 8 inches (0.51 metres) across the arms. Information: The shaft of the cross bears a Romano-Christian inscription in three vertical lines. Although now difficult to decipher, it is thought to read: In more recent times the cross has had a letter incised into each face of the shaft, to show the direction to each of the following towns: H (Hatherleigh), O (Okehampton), T (Tavistock) and L (Launceston). |
