Description

The Churchyard Cross in St Teath is a medieval structure made of granite. It is exceptionally tall and was originally a single piece, but it has been broken into several parts and re-erected in the 19th century. The cross features a tall rectangular shaft with moulded corners. The wheelhead is pierced with a patee cross and is decorated on the sides of the outer rim with floral motifs.

Churchyard Cross sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,050 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 85% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 92% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 11 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 90% of listed buildings. Of these, 5 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.
