Summary
A cross said to have been here, may be just a place name. It is reputed that a cross once stood at the crossroads named ‘Leigh Cross’, about half a mile north of Christow station. It has been said that the cross in the grounds of Canonteign Barton was brought from Leigh Cross. However, there is apparently nothing in the nature of the cross to be seen here now, and the Canonteign Barton cross actually came from Christow churchyard.
