Description

The cross located on Church Lane in Friskney dates from the mid-15th century and was partially re-cut in the 17th century. It is made of limestone ashlar and features a rectangular plinth with a large grotesque animal on each side, similar to those found on the buttresses of the nearby church. The shaft tapers and has broached stops at the base. Above the shaft, there is a gabled hood that displays crucifixion scenes on both sides. These figures were re-cut in the 17th century, and they are depicted wearing clothing from that period.

Cross receives an average of 770 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 65% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 61% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 16 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 84% of listed buildings. Of these, 9 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
