This churchyard cross also serves as a memorial cross. We learn from the Dartmoor Crosses website: “This imposing cross was made within the Dartmoor Prison and erected in the churchyard, in 1912. It was made by the prison inmates, as a memorial to all those prisoners who have died over the years and now lie in unmarked graves.

It is a poignant cross that makes us remember all of those lives lost.
