Cross amongst the gorse - a photo on Flickriver

IMG_0992
On the south eastern side of Wigford Down stands a lone wayside cross known as ‘Cadover Cross’ or sometimes as the ‘Cross on Wigford Down’. Today it is only the cross head and base which are the original components of the cross as can be seen from the restoration photograph below. It is thought that the original parts of the cross date back to the 1200s and served as a marker along the monastic track which ran between Plympton Priory and Tavistock. This fine example of a Dartmoor wayside cross stands at a height of 2.37 metres and has an arm span of 77 centimetres.
