EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Hawson Cross - A Historical Marker on the Old Abbots Way, Devon, England This evocative image captures the enigmatic Hawson Cross, an ancient relic nestled amidst the rugged beauty of Devon's moorland. Dating back to the 10th to 13th centuries, this venerable cross once marked the Old Abbots Way, a significant track connecting Buckfast Abbey and Buckland Abbey. The cross, adorned with intricate carvings and weathered by time, stands as a testament to the rich history and deep Christian roots of this region. The cross's intricate design, featuring intertwined knots, geometric patterns, and the faint remnants of once-vibrant colors, speaks to the skill and artistry of the craftsmen who created it. Situated near Buckfastleigh, this relic is a captivating reminder of the past. The Old Abbots Way, an ancient pilgrimage route, was an essential connection between two significant religious sites during the Middle Ages. The monks from Buckfast Abbey and Buckland Abbey would have used this path for travel and communication, making the Hawson Cross an essential landmark. The cross's location, surrounded by craggy hills and verdant foliage, adds to its mystique. The serene landscape, dotted with quaint buildings and the occasional farmstead, offers a glimpse into the rural life that has endured for centuries. This photograph, captured by an unnamed photographer, invites us to explore the fascinating history of Devon and the intriguing stories that lie hidden within its landscape. The Hawson Cross stands as a symbol of the region's Christian heritage and the enduring connection between the past and the present.
