Walkhampton is a village and civil parish on the western side of Dartmoor in the county of Devon, England.
[5] Walkhampton church, which is Grade I listed, is on an ancient elevated site about half a mile north-west of the village.
[6] The present building, which is built of granite and has a tower with four prominent pinnacles, dates from the 15th century, with much later alteration,[1] including restoration in 1860–61.
The base and shaft were re-erected in 1984 by relatives of the Lieutenant Goldsmith who in 1903 had discovered a cross on the moor; a head was added in 1991.
[8] On the moorland above the village is Walkhampton Common which contains many important archaeological sites including at least eight stone rows, many cairns, cists, hut circles and reaves dating to the Bronze Age.
