Excerpt: ...Too late! for high on Warwick wall In one brief hour his head must be." Johns, Gaveston on Dartmoor. The cross, of which only the head now remains, is lying near the edge of the pool, and probably not far from its original site. It is particularly unfortunate that it should have been overturned and shattered, for no spot could be more fitting for it than the bank of the silent pool. Regaining the road, near the little stream which flows from below the pool, we continue on our way, and shortly come in sight of a ravine sloping down to the southern branch of the Mew. When about a half a mile from this ravine, we leave the road a little on our left, and at the distance of a few score yards from it, shall come upon the second of the crosses which compose the line extending from this common to Holne Moor. It is unfortunately broken, and the lower part of the shaft is gone. We cannot but lament that this is so, and deplore the spirit of wanton spoliation that has raised its hand, here in the wilds, to strike this old relic low. The portion that remains lies on the ground by the side of the socket stone in which it was once fixed, and measures one foot ten and a half inches across the arms, which are eleven inches deep; the shaft, or what is left of it, being two feet four inches in height. It is eight and a half inches wide below the arms, and the same immediately above them, but gradually widens upwards, being nine and a half inches at the top. The stone in which the socket is cut is very nearly square, measuring two feet eight inches by two feet ten inches, and is one foot nine inches in thickness. The socket measures thirteen inches by eleven and a half, and is six inches deep, the stone, which has been carefully shaped, has been moved...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ancient Stone Crosses of Dartmoor and Its Borderland IN my former notices of the Stone Crosses of the Dartmoor country, those existing on the moor, and those to be found in the cultivated portions of the border parishes, were dealt with in separate books. In the following pages these two are combined, and much new matter, rendered necessary by the altered state of some of the objects described, has been added. This has required some re-casting, and renders the present in great measure a new book. Some of the remarks prefixed to my earlier description of the Old Crosses of the Moorlands I venture to repeat here. I stated that my explorations on Dartmoor had extended over many years, and had enabled me to gather much of interest pertaining to its history, its customs, and its Objects of antiquity. My researches in that region of tor and stream I have never tired Of pursuing, a love for its dear Old hills, extending back as far as memory will carry me, attracting me to its wild solitudes, where, by the side of the stone circle and the moss-covered cairn, we seem to stand on the borderland between the present and the distant past.
