Stephen's Grave
Stephen's Grave

Stephen's Grave marks the burial site of a suicide from 1762 .
Suicides could not be buried in hallow ground and so like Kitty Jay, George Stephen’s was buried at a bleak,
windswept crossroads on the edge of the moors.
In 1936, the Dartmoor Preservation Association set the stone pillar on a more secure plinth , the letter ‘S’ is engraved on the plinth.
