LADYWELL CROSS. 
Near the village of Sticklepath, not far from an old fountain 
from which the inhabitants continue to draw water, stands an up- 
right, squarely-hewn stone, known by the name of Ladywell. 
On the north face a cross stands in relief, the top of which is 
surmounted by a round knob, from which, to the arms of the cross, 
the distance is one foot six inches, while from the lower part of the 
arms, which are nine inches broad, to the lower extremity of the 
shaft of the sculptured cross is one foot. 
The eastern face is sculptured from the summit to the base of 
the stone. The uppermost engraving is about half a circle, the 
upper half being wanting. Below this semicircle is a small St. 
Andrew's cross, beneath which is a cartouche-like ornament. It 
is of a long, oval shape, with a contraction of the sides near the 
middle. Beneath this again is a second St. Andrew's cross, below 
which are two conformable waved lines like the letter S. 
The height of the stone from the ground is five feet four inches.
