Description
The cross shaft, dating from around the 15th century, is made of granite and stands approximately 4 metres high. It is located about 6 metres west of the Dower House, positioned between Lew Mill and the Dower House. The shaft was erected by Sabine Baring-Gould, who discovered it in the side of the mill leat. Baring-Gould believed it to be a Saxon standing stone. He served as both parson and squire at Lew Trenchard from 1881 until his death in 1924 and was a passionate antiquarian with a keen interest in Dartmoor's history, serving as President of the Devonshire Association in 1896.
