Description
Parson Martin's Cross is a granite cross dated 1896, standing about 7 metres high with a slightly tapered shaft and designed in the shape of a Latin cross. It is set on a square base consisting of three steps. An inscription tablet on the base reads: "In the firm hope of the second coming of our lord Jesus Christ and for the encouragement of those who strive to serve him this cross is erected AD 1896." The cross is located on Dodman Point and holds significant landscape value.
