Description
Three Hole Cross is a cross that probably dates back to before the Conquest. It is made of granite and stands just over 1.5 metres tall on an irregularly shaped later socket stone. The shaft is rectangular in plan, fairly roughly cut, and has been broken into two pieces and reset. The wheelhead features three pierced holes, with a fourth hole that is only partly cut through. Additionally, there is a raised circle in the centre of the wheelhead, which has two lobes where it meets the shaft. This structure is also designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
Local climate
Three Hole Cross sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,000 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 80% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 89% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 10 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 90% of listed buildings. Of these, 4 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.
