Description

Treslea Cross is a probably pre-Conquest granite cross located in Cardinham. It stands about 1.5 metres high and features a wheelhead with four indentations that create a primitive saltire cross shape. The shaft is a roughly hewn chamfered monolith, and there are lugs on the sides of the wheelhead. A raised carved ridge runs down the centre of the shaft, and the rear of the cross is similar to the front. It is designated as an ancient monument, number 198.

Local climate

Treslea Cross sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,030 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 82% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 87% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 16 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 84% of listed buildings. Of these, 7 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.
