Childe's Tomb is a granite cross on Dartmoor, Devon, England. Although not in its original form, it is more elaborate than most of the crosses on Dartmoor, being raised upon a constructed base, and it is known that a kistvaen is underneath. The tomb was virtually destroyed in 1812 by a man who stole most of the stones to build a house nearby, but it was partly reconstructed in 1890.

  • Childe's Tomb is a granite cross on Dartmoor, Devon, England. Although not in its original form, it is more elaborate than most of the crosses on Dartmoor, being raised upon a constructed base, and it is known that a kistvaen is underneath. A well-known legend attached to the site, first recorded in 1630 by Tristram Risdon, concerns a wealthy hunter, Childe, who became lost in a snow storm and supposedly died there despite disembowelling his horse and climbing into its body for protection. The legend relates that Childe left a note of some sort saying that whoever found and buried his body would inherit his lands at Plymstock. After a race between the monks of Tavistock Abbey and the men of Plymstock, the Abbey won. The tomb was virtually destroyed in 1812 by a man who stole most of the stones to build a house nearby, but it was partly reconstructed in 1890. (en)

Anche se attualmente non si presenta nella sua forma originaria, è la più elaborata tra le croci di Dartmoor, dotata di una base a gradoni, ed è nota per essere un kistvaen. Una leggenda molto nota, registrata per la prima volta nel 1630 da , riguarda un ricco cacciatore, Childe, che si perse in una tormenta di neve e che qui morì pur essendosi servito del suo cavallo ormai morto per mangiare e ripararsi dal freddo. La leggenda dice inoltre che Childe prima di morire abbia lasciato un biglietto secondo il quale chi avesse trovato il suo corpo e lo avesse seppellito avrebbe ereditato le sue terre a . Ne scaturì anche un contrasto tra l'abbazia di Tavistock e gli abitanti di Plymstock, dove la prima ebbe la meglio. La tomba venne virtualmente distrutta nel 1812 da un uomo che ne ricavò i materiali per costruirvi una casa vicina, ma venne in parte ricostruita nel 1890. (it)

Childe stierf van de kou. Hij werd later door de monniken van Tavistock gevonden. Zij brachten hem naar huis, maar hoorden dat de boeren in Plymstock hen bij de brug over de rivier de Tavy wilden overvallen. De monniken weken om deze boeren te ontwijken van hun pad af en bouwden vlak bij Tavistock een nieuwe brug over de Tavy. Childe werd in Tavistock begraven en de monniken erfden het landgoed. (nl)
