Horn’s Cross on Holne Moor
On my travels across Devon gathering photographic content for Devonshire magazine, I’m lucky to see much of great interest.

Standing at the cross and looking in all directions you feel the bleakness, with just sheep and birds for company (see photo below). In previous centuries Christianity reigned supreme in Britain, its influence is indelibly written across our landscape.
