Notes: Shown on Side by Side as ‘Cross (Rems. of)’, this site is described by William Crossing in ‘Guide to Dartmoor‘ (1909); “There are three stone crosses, or rather the remains of them, at Widecombe. Just without the churchyard gate is the base of one, but the cross itself is gone, and a small yew is now growing in the place it occupied.
