Details The Dartmoor granite cross stands in the churchyard to the south of the Church of St Gregory (Grade II*-listed), and close to the churchyard lych gate and gates (Grade II). It takes the form of a plain Latin cross with slightly splayed cross arms, rising from a square plinth. The plinth stands on a two-stage, octagonal, base. The principal dedicatory inscription to the front face of the plinth reads TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND TO THE HONOURED MEMORY OF/ THE OFFICERS AND MEN OF THIS PARISH/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1919. The commemorated names are recorded on faces of the upper stage of the base.
