The medieval Pixy’s Cross on Whitchurch Down at Tavistock

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Granite crosses were put up in the Middle Ages to help guide travellers over Dartmoor. This one, on the outskirts of Tavistock, is named after the pixies, no-one knows why. The pixy lore of south-west Britain, recorded from the seventeenth century, became famous in the 1830s through the works of Anna Bray of Tavistock
