Could Starcross be derived from the Norse word stoth, which meant a landing stage for loading and unloading cargo? OED definition for staithe
The word staithe - for a pier - was Old English, used in the North and East of England

Francis Kain
Hello Devon History Group,
I
would like to know if one Francis Kain is known to you in any capacity.
He lived in Starcross, as Staplake Mount, for only about three years,
possibly, up until 1833 when he died there.
I
am also interested in the Staplake Mount premises which I can find no
images of on the internet except as a modern veterinary institute, I
think. Can you offer information or leads on that?
Thank you very much in anticipation,
Barbara
