Hand Hill Cross - Dartmoor Granite on Waymarking.com

Hand Hill cross is a tiny cross at just 4¼ inches tall set in the top of a large granite boulder on the top of Hand Hill. It was erected in 1980, by Mr Bill Northmore, in gratitude for a lifetime of enjoyment from living and working on the moor. Mr Northmore was born at Lovaton, near Meavy, where he spent his working life as a farmer. This tiny metal cross was made from the propeller shaft of an old ship.
