Signpost and Abbey Cross junction
The arms on the signpost are in different styles. Presumably one needed to be replaced, and it was not economic to replace all three arms?

Cornworthy Cross
A T-junction now but at one time this was a crossroads. The fourth road is today an unmetalled county road, announced by the green sign, north to Tuckenhay.

The Priory Gatehouse, above Cornworthy
The Gatehouse of c.1400 is all that remains standing of a "priory of Augustinian nuns founded early in the C13..." (Pevsner, South Devon, Penguin 1952).
There is a kissing gate out on to the road, obscured by the gatehouse. All this grassy open space stretching down to the village, seems to be in the care of the parish council. Note the public seat, right.
