February 2001: Dartmoor Crosses Century
At long last! The following new additions at Cholwich
Town Farm and Harford brings our tally of crosses
on the website to the magical 100!
PLEASE
NOTE: Like
everyone else, we will be staying off the moor until this dreadful Foot and
Mouth outbreak is over.
However, we still have a number of crosses that were visited and photographed
during January and February which we will be adding to the site over the coming
weeks.
So, although you can't get out there to see them for yourself, we hope that you
will find a 'virtual' trip to our crosses enjoyable.
