| Watching Place Waymarker | Marker Stone | England | Devon | Visited | 11th May 2019 | 3 | 3 | 5 | Watching Place Waymarker/original site of Beetor Cross: Having seen the OS map and sorted out the Pastscape entries, I finally realised that this 'standing stone' was where the cross had originally been located.
Our first stop today was to go and photograph it so I could complete the Beetor Cros... Read More |

| Leeper Cross | Ancient Cross | England | Devon | Visited | 11th May 2019 | 2 | 3 | 4 | The Leeper/Leapra Wayside Cross: We had problems locating this cross, so I ended up walking up the driveway up to Moorgate Farm. Just to the right hand side of the gate, I thought I identified an ivy covered cross head shape. Andrew didn’t believe me, so I let myself through the gate and had a clo... Read More |

| Challacombe Cross Settlement | Ancient Village or Settlement | England | Devon | Visited | 11th May 2019 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Challacombe Cross/Shapley Common Hut Circles: Having seen quite a few hut circles in Northumberland, I wasn’t expecting much from this site – a few stony-outlined circles in the bracken, but what a lovely surprise this site was – hut circles with very large boulders making up the perimeter. It... Read More |

| Moretonhampstead Cross | Ancient Cross | England | Devon | Visited | 11th May 2019 | 3 | 3 | 5 | Moretonhamstead Village Cross: The remains of this old village cross can be found, surprisingly, on Cross Street, outside the gate at the south side of the churchyard. I confess I had not expected to see a wayside/village cross mounted in a large flower bed! I got some strange looks from locals an... Read More |

| Horspit Cross | Ancient Cross | England | Devon | Visited | 11th May 2019 | 3 | 4 | 5 | Horspit Cross, North Bovey: This was to be an afternoon of ‘cross sighting’, with the weather gradually turning from a bright, sunny day to a dull, almost misty day by the time we’d finished.
This squat, small cross sits right on a road junction, with a large boulder immediately adjacent. W... Read More |

| Sanduck Cross | Ancient Cross | England | Devon | Visited | 11th May 2019 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Sanduck Wayside Cross: We were going past this spot to get to the next cross on our list, when we spotted this on the OS map, so decided to stop and look for it. We parked outside a very lovely house built around a courtyard; as the road was very narrow, we pulled into a small tarmacked area opposit... Read More |

| Higher Combe Cross | Ancient Cross | England | Devon | Saw from a distance | 11th May 2019 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Higher Combe Cross: If we could have obtained access to this cross, access would have been a short walk across a field of improved pasture. Shame the gate was double-chained with two electric fences virtually up against the gate. Lovely horse in the field, though.
Andrew resorted to standing on... Read More |

| Datuidoc's Stone | Early Christian Sculptured Stone | England | Devon | Visited | 11th May 2019 | 3 | 3 | 4 | The Writhelstan inscribed stone, St John The Baptist, Lustleigh: Expecting this to be the prettiest village in Devon, I was a little surprised to find I didn’t agree. The church is right in the middle of the village, and we managed to park by the south wall of the churchyard, immediately opposite... Read More |

| Bishop's Stone (Lustleigh) | Ancient Cross | England | Devon | Visited | 11th May 2019 | 3 | 3 | 5 | Bishop's Stone, Lustleigh: This stone is on a corner of a busy road junction of three minor roads– I needed to pick my time to step part way across the road to photograph the stone from the front. The metal railing shown in the Pastscape photo is now largely hidden by a beech hedge. The stone goes... Read More |

| South Harton Cross | Ancient Cross | England | Devon | Visited | 11th May 2019 | 3 | 4 | 5 | South Harton Wayside Cross: As we drove along the minor roads from the Bishop’s Stone towards South Harton Farm, the sun went in and a haze started to drift across the fields and it started to become very chilly.
This cross simply leans against the dry stone wall, just to the west of the gate... Read More |
