Description

The Obelisk is a granite structure located in Conduit Square, Chudleigh, dating from the late 18th century to the early 19th century. It stands on a tall rectangular base with a moulded plinth. A later marble plaque affixed to the obelisk commemorates the provision of drinking water in 1879. It has been suggested that this obelisk, made from Haytor granite, was erected to mark the construction of London Bridge, which was built from the same stone.

Local climate

The Obelisk receives an average of 870 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 63% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 78% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 15 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 85% of listed buildings. Of these, 6 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.
