The making of palm crosses was started in our own region in Devon and Cornwall as a "cottage industry" but by the 1950's it had all but disappeared. The Reverend Talbot, at this time, was with Bishop Huddleston in Tanzania and living in a village called Namakambale. In 1957 he was visited in the village by two English botanists who were able to identify and confirm that the low bushes that had long leaves growing from them were indeed genuine palms.  This prompted Reverend Talbot to teach the locals to harvest the leaves and make the crosses. He also, through his UK contacts, arranged for an English church in London to purchase them and then through distributors like ourselves. Today, African Palms are now sent to the UK, Canada and the USA annually producing over £40,000.00 per annum. This money has been invested in schools, medical facilities, and clean water projects.

The palm crosses are robust and expertly made, ranging in size from about 9 to 12" in length. Available in bags of 50 crosses.

How long will it take to receive my order?

Orders are typically dispatched within 1-3 working days of receipt unless the item or order contains made-to-order products or is out of stock. If an item is out of stock we will provide an alternative product or advise when the item will be in stock.

Unless notified in advance and to avoid extended transit times couriers will be instructed to leave goods in a safe place near the main door (a porch, covered area, behind bins, etc) if no-one is available to receive them on the scheduled delivery day. If you wish to receive the goods in person please specify this at the time of ordering. For this service option the couriers will attempt to deliver the goods twice after which they are returned to our warehouse.

Please use the 'Notes' field in the shopping cart to provide delivery preferences such as office opening hours, preferred delivery days, safe places to leave goods, etc

Extra shipping charges

There are certain parts of the UK that fall outside the standard courier network such as islands and remote places and higher tariffs will apply. Certain heavy and/or fragile goods are also subject to higher shipping tariffs.

What is your returns policy?

We accept returns. Please examine your goods within 3 days of the scheduled delivery date. If incorrect or broken please email images to info@dmhay.co.uk so we can send the correct items or organise replacements. If you wish to return goods please ensure they are packaged appropriately for transit. Returned goods will be examined on receipt and if in a saleable condition will be returned to stock and a full refund will be provided less a restocking charge. It is not possible to provide refunds on any returned goods that are damaged.

We offer low prices and free shipping on all orders although we apply a sliding scale of ‘offset’ fees (see below) to offset the extra relative expense of processing smaller orders.
