| Addiscott Cross | Ancient Cross | England | Devon | Visited | 13th May 2019 | 3 | 3 | 5 | Addiscott Wayside Cross: Our first stop on this bright, sunny and breezy day, which made us glad to be out of doors.
The Pastscape entry is indeed correct, as the cross is virtually hidden by the surrounding shrubbery and almost impossible to see until we got closer and the sun bounced off its l... Read More |

| Ringhole Copse Cross | Ancient Cross | England | Devon | Visited | 13th May 2019 | 3 | 3 | 5 | Ringhole Copse Wayside Cross: Not on our original list, but we spotted this cross on the map, with only a minor detour to our next few stops for this morning.
This wayside cross is adjacent to, and just south of, the A30, about 20m west of the road which connects the minor roads running over the ... Read More |

| Ring Hill Cross | Ancient Cross | England | Devon | Visited | 13th May 2019 | 1 | 2 | 4 | Possibly the Ring Hill Wayside Cross?: From the Pastscape description, and armed with our GPS, this cross should have been relatively easy to find, but was actually the hardest. We spotted the old footpath coming down the slope and joining the minor road to South Zeal, but the fence posts and gates... Read More |

| Oxenham Cross | Ancient Cross | England | Devon | Visited | 13th May 2019 | 3 | 4 | 5 | Oxenham Wayside Cross: This wayside cross was placed high above a cross roads of two narrow, busy minor roads, where it was difficult to stop. I took photos while Andrew moved the car out of the way. I tried to get a photograph from inside the field, but the gate had been nailed shut with wire under... Read More |

| St Andrew's Cross (South Tawton) | Ancient Cross | England | Devon | Visited | 13th May 2019 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Alleged wayside cross shaft, St Andrew's Church, South Tawton: This ‘cross shaft’ (gate post?) can be found at the gate at the end of the path running north from the west end of the church. Whilst it has more recently been identified as a gatepost, it look remarkably like a couple of other cross... Read More |

| Moon's Cross | Ancient Cross | England | Devon | Visited | 13th May 2019 | 3 | 4 | 5 | Moon's Cross, between South Tawton & South Zeal: From St Andrew’s Church in South Tawton, we headed south along Fore Street towards South Zeal. At a cross roads just outside South Tawton, there is the remains of a cross shaft in a socket stone. As the road is quite wide here, it was easy to park j... Read More |

| Sticklepath Methodist Chapel Cross | Ancient Cross | England | Devon | Visited | 13th May 2019 | 3 | 3 | 5 | Sticklepath Methodist Chapel Cross: A very small cross with socket stone being used as a coping stone on the apex of the roof of the Methodist Chapel.
To see the cross better, we let ourselves into the small ‘garden’ of the chapel (being used as a dump for building materials and rubble), and ... Read More |

| Lady Well (Sticklepath) | Holy Well or Sacred Spring | England | Devon | Visited | 13th May 2019 | 4 | 2 | 5 | Lady Well, Sticklepath: This well is right beside the road. The grid reference given by Pastscape must be the original site of the well, as it actually is at SX 63904 94124.
The ambience of the well was dreadful at the time of our visit, as it sat immediately next to a set of roadworks, and also ... Read More |

| Holy Well (Belstone) | Holy Well or Sacred Spring | England | Devon | Visited | 13th May 2019 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Belstone Spring Head: From the village green, we decided to walk to the well, following the lane past the church and turning right (ESE) onto the common ground/moorland.
Located almost immediately opposite a large pub, and just down slope, this was a lovely location which attracted families and d... Read More |

| West Wyke Farm Cross | Ancient Cross | England | Devon | Visited | 13th May 2019 | 3 | 3 | 4 | West Wyke Farm Cross: This cross is not recorded on Pastscape or Historic England, so we didn't expect to see it here. It looks relatively modern, like a small rounded-headed grave marker such as we saw in St Mary's in Belstone. It sits quietly by the entrance to the farm buildings, north of the t... Read More |

| Oxenham Arms | Standing Stone (Menhir) | England | Devon | Visited | 13th May 2019 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Oxenham Arms Menhir & Roman Stone: We originally headed off to the wrong pub, at the north western end of the village, but having thought the name of the pub wasn't what we remembered, we found the Oxenham Arms just down the hill from the village cross.
Walking into the pub from the bright sunshi... Read More |

| South Zeal Cross | Ancient Cross | England | Devon | Visited | 13th May 2019 | 3 | 4 | 5 | South Zeal Cross: Driving the short distance from Moon’s Cross into South Zeal, this is a busy little working village, not just a place for tourists to travel to Oh the cars that were parked up and down the street, but we managed to find a space just south of the village cross.
This is a tall,... Read More |

| Sticklepath Boundary Marker | Marker Stone | England | Devon | Visited | 13th May 2019 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Sticklepath Inscribed Boundary Stone: This stone is only within 20m of Lady Well, separated by a minor road junction. At the time of our visit, the ambience was spoilt by roadworks which had been set up next to, and almost up to it.
With the stone sitting on top of a retaining wall between the p... Read More |

| Belstone Boundary Marker | Marker Stone | England | Devon | Visited | 13th May 2019 | 3 | 3 | 5 | Belstone Boundary Marker: Only 1km from the Sticklepath Boundary Stone, this supposedly pre-Conquest stone at the junction of the B3260 and a minor dead-end road which goes north east to a farm.
I got some strange stares from the cars as I photographed this stone, which is no longer on the paris... Read More |

| Belstone Ring Cross | Ancient Cross | England | Devon | Visited | 13th May 2019 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Ring headed cross at St Mary The Virgin, Belstone: A lovely little village, with not only the ring headed cross in the church but the Coronation Stone and the old stocks on the village green.
The church has a lovely atmosphere, tucked away to the west of the little village shop cum pub. The chur... Read More |

| West Wykes Farm Tau and Latin Crosses | Ancient Cross | England | Devon | Visited | 13th May 2019 | 3 | 5 | 4 | West Wyke Tau and Latin Crosses: The lane to West Wyke farm and the houses here is marked private, so we parked at the viewpoint at SX 65298 93020 and walked the 600m or so up the lane - a very pleasant walk in the evening sunshine.
Despite taking the HE and Pastcape printouts with us, I didn't... Read More |
