Product Information

What would a nun major in if she went to college? Religious Studies would be her preferred course of study. Today, the name Nun’s Cross is associated with the farm and is also given as an alternative name for Siward’s Cross that stands here (and was discussed in the last blog about this route). However, Fleming hypothesises that in the past, a second cross may have stood near here (2011). Tin workings of the 16th and 17th C, to the east of the current farm, are documented with ‘nun’ in their name (Greeves, pers comm to cited in Fleming, 2011). It is therefore possible that there used to be another cross here, perhaps at Nun’s Cross Ford, to the east of the 19th C farm, guiding the traveller across the headwaters of the river Swincombe. 2.

Nuns have always been an object of fascination and humor for many people. Their unique way of life and their dedication to serving God has inspired countless jokes and one-liners. This is where the history of Nun's Cross Farm gets spooky - and makes me question my decision to venture up here. Nun's Cross Farm is an old farmhouse that is enriched with stories of intrigue and mystery, as well as much of the land surrounding it.Above: Sister Francesca poses in the wooden village of Maurzysce, Poland, during World Catholic Youth Week. Francesca was one of the youngest nuns inside the community. In 2017, she abandoned the community to return to a secular life. Below: Nuns in Łowicz play basketball with a group of young Catholics.

Again, we call on the people of Plymouth who may have been part of the Navy training at Nun's Cross to shed a light on the use of this historical building. Read More Related Articles The forsaken farmhouse of Nun’s Cross Farm, flanked by twin firs, has got to be one of the most photographed of Dartmoor locations. It stands, anti-social; its withdrawn location and lowering countenance adding to its woeful presence. Even on a radiant day, this place feels grim. And that’s its charm. Pretty isn’t everything. You can also walk/cycle in from Princetown via South Hessary Tor or from the car parking areas at the eastern end of Burrator Reservoir or the limited parking area by Gutter Tor just up the road from the pretty village Sheepstor. Again, all of these are marked on theOrdnance Survey Explorer OL28 'Dartmoor' map. The Dartmoor crosses are a series of stone crosses found in Dartmoor National Park in the centre of Devon, England. Many of them are old navigational aids, needed because of the remoteness of the moorland and its typically bad weather. Some mark medieval routes between abbeys. [1] Other crosses were erected as memorials, for prayer, as town or market crosses, in churchyards, and as boundary markers. [2] The crosses were erected over a long period of time, some as recently as 100 years ago, the earliest probably almost 1,000 years ago. Whether heading east or west, a major danger to any traveller in this vicinity, would have been ending up in Fox Tor Mire, the most notorious of Dartmoor’s valley bogs. This is definitely a place which is preferable to go around, rather than through, so saturated and blancmange-like is the terrain. Every foot forward is one that needs to be tested against the threat of sinking. It is within this context that we might judge Goldsmith’s Cross. Whilst all crosses that serve routes are markers, the placing of Goldsmith’s Cross seems particularly judicious in guiding wayfarers on a safe path.

That year the festival took place in Poland and more than 3 millions pilgrims celebrated the event. The week was filled with a series of religious meetings and group activities that concluded with the Pope’s public appearance in Kraków. For the nuns, this was a rare chance to spend time away from their strict routine. “The best thing was to walk around and meet people from everywhere.
