Description
WEMBWORTHY SS 61 SE 1/67 - Spekes Cross approximately 175 metres north-north-east of Heywood House - II Wayside cross. Probably C15 on C20 base. Granite cross and socket stone on concrete plinth. Plain Latin cross standing approximately 2.4 metres high is carved fron a single piece of granite. Its edges are slightly chamfered and the stem is irregular. Its left hand arm is a replacement. It is set into a plain square-section socket stone on a 2-step concrete plinth. The back of the cross shows much rougher toolwork. The cross is now alongside a woodland path which was once the drive to now-ruined Eggesford House (q.v.). It was probably erected here in C19.
