GEMS IN A GRANITE SETTING by William Crossing

Description

Anyone who has previously taken an interest in the life and history of Dartmoor will be familiar with the names of Beatrice Chase and Sabine Bearing-Gould. One other must also be added to this illustrious list and that is William Crossing. He is now considered one of the best authorities on Dartmoor and its antiquities, having made it the subject of his life's work and his writings being as popular, and relevant, today as they have ever been.

Numerous subjects, photographs and locations are covered in the book. Some of these are Sir Thomas Wise, Black Tor Copse in the Seventeenth Century, Lustleigh Cleave, the Bovey River, the Manor of Spitchwick and many others.
