Description

NORTH BOVEY SX 78 SW 4/198 - Horspit Cross II

Has the letters O (Okehampton), N (Newton Abbot), M (Moretonhampstead) and B (Bovey) carved on the 2 faces and the 2 ends of its arms. The name apparently derives from the field at whose gate the Cross stands. Source F.H. Starkey 'Dartmoor Crosses.
