Description

Tottenham High Cross is a structure of obscure origins, with no known connection to crosses erected by Edward I. Initially a wooden structure, it was replaced around 1600 by a brick building. In 1809, this brick structure was covered with stucco, and subsequently decorated with Gothic detailing in the same material. The current form is an octagonal tower of three stages surmounted by a short spire. It has a plain plinth, and the upper stages feature cusped panelling. The ridges of the spire are ornamented with crockets.

Local climate

Tottenham High Cross sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 680 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 99% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 99% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 29 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 66% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 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.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
