Inscribed stones in vicarage garden
Devon
These inscribed stones, now protected in a vicarage garden, are scheduled monuments that speak to Dartmoor's early medieval past. The carved stones likely date to the early Christian period, when such monuments marked significant sites across the moor and its margins. Their preservation in this domestic setting reflects the patchwork way that Dartmoor's heritage has been safeguarded over centuries.
Visitors will find them in situ within the garden, rather than in a museum or visitor centre. They offer a quiet reminder of the deep history embedded in the Dartmoor landscape and the role of the church in shaping settlement and worship across the region from medieval times onward.
