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.

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...

This book was released on 2016-09-15 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Stone Crosses of the County of Northampton It is true that here there are not numbers of pre historic crosses, similar to those sown broadcast over Cornwall; mighty monoliths, similar to those found at Stonehenge or the smaller ones in Anglesea, Orkney, and other places or magnificent market crosses, similar to those found in many of the southern counties of England. Still, the remains of some forty churchyard, ten market, twenty village, four wayside, and five memorial crosses, with sundry boundary stones, make a total by no means insignificant. Amongst these stones are many fragments of Saxon churchyard crosses, and the interlacing patterns of the ornamentation of several of these are very interesting and uncommon, the representation of the Crucifixion at Nassington being especially worthy of notice. The cross at Cogenhoe is a beautiful and, as far as this county is concerned, a unique piece of work. Several ofthe later crosses, particularly those in the churchyardsxii preface.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old Stone Crosses of Dorset: With an Introduction and Descriptive Articles Having briefly reviewed the introduction of the cross into this country, and its variety of form, let us consider the very many occasions and diversity of ways in which the cross, in various modifications of its form, would naturally be adopted. The Right Honourable T. Pemberton Leigh in delivering judgment of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in the case Westerton 'v. Liddell and Horne, said A cross was. Used as a symbol of Christianity for two or three centuries before the Reformation, and has continued ever since to be used as an ensign of honour, as an ornament both of build ings and persons, ecclesiastical and civil, public and private, without any relation to superstitious or even to religious usage. There were Memorial Crosses, Churchyard or Preaching Crosses, Market and Village Crosses, Boundary Crosses, Weeping Crosses and Pilgrim Crosses. Let us shortly consider each one of these in its order. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
