 ADDENDA. A fine Latin Cross has recently been erected at Cornwood (p. 34). It stands on a stepped base, and forms quite an interesting feature of the village. It bears the date 1902, and the following inscription : '* In grateful memory of Frederic Rogers, Lord Blachford, K.C.M.G., and of Georgiana his wife. He served his country faithfully for 25 years in the Colonial Office. Their latter days were spent at Blachford, serving God and doing good to their neighbours."

It is satisfactory to note that Widecombe has again its Churchyard Cross. The part built into the wall (p. 166) now sarmoxmts the shaft near the south porch. It stands about six feet high. This good work was done some time since. Quite recently death has removed the Rev. C. H. Crook, for several years vicar of Sheepstor, and to whom we have had occasion to refer (p. 65).

I also find that another writer states that Petre's Cross can be seen from near Hun- tingdon Cross. This, however, is not so. A stone post on
