This little cross is not the easiest to find.  It is sandwiched between two larger graves.  To help locate it I have included a ‘context’ shot.  According to Bill Harrison, ‘Crossing recorded that R J King, owner of Brigadon estate within the parish acquired the cross with the intention of having it set up on Dartmoor where it is thought to have originated as a wayside cross, but he left the area before fulfilling his plan and a subsequent owner, Lady Littler, finally had it erected in the Buckfastleigh churchyard in the mid-1800s.’
