- Horspit Cross

II

Wayside Cross turned into guide stone. Probably late medieval converted in C19.
Small roughly hewn granite cross with short arms and truncated head. 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.
