Vis=18/6/1997 (salvatore) cross on grass verge opposite entrance to cadhay. Not its original position. The socket stone, which has been used as a trough, has been reunited with the shaft to provide a visual feature for the front entrance to cadhay. Original site unknown. A cross may have been sited at the point where the ottery st. Mary parish boundary follows the course of a roman road, c.1km n of cadhay house. Alternatively, it may have come into the area after 1545 when some of the spoils of ottery college are known to have come to cadhay at the dissolution and it may at first have been utilised in the nearby cadhay barton.
