Description
Dunstone Cross is a medieval granite cross located in the centre of the hamlet of Widecombe-in-the-Moor. It features a plain cross-head and the upper part of the shaft, which stands on a pile of boulders on the green. The north arm and top of the cross are somewhat weathered. On the west face, there is a roughly-cut incised cross. A metal plaque attached to the boulder notes that the cross was returned to its original site after being in the vicarage garden for 100 years, restored by Miss M Hamlyn of Dunstone Manor in 1980.
