THE INSCRIBED STONES AND ANCIENT CROSSES 
OF DEVON. 
Part I. 
MR. C. SPENCE BATE’S PAPER. 
(Read November 19th, 1874.) 
Tux inscribed stones of Devonshire that remain are few, and most 
of those that are known stand in places to which they have been 
removed from their original sites. 
There are three in the garden of the vicarage at Tavistock. 
Two of these were brought from Buckland Monachorum, and the 
third from the neighbourhood of Tavistock. These were obtained, 
and erected for preservation, by the late Rev. E. A. Bray, a former 
vicar. Another inscribed stone was found some few years since by 
Mr. Pearse, at Fardel, near Cornwood. This has since been removed 
by the late Sir Edward Smirke, and is preserved in the British 
Museum. In Yealmpton churchyard is another, in tolerable 
preservation, as also is the one 
in the churchyard at Stowford. 
Another exists, built into the 
wall, at Lustleigh. Nun’s 
Cross, in the heart of Dart- 
moor, has an old inscription 
on it; and so has the one at 
Sourton, on the Okehampton 
Road. 
Of these the first is one of 
the most interesting. 
The Nazarr Stone at one 
time fulfilled the duties of a 





gatepost. The iron clamps that he ; ang oA! f if
