Description

The lime kiln at Morwellham is likely from the mid-18th century and is constructed from slatestone rubble. It has a rectangular shape and features four kilns built into the bank. The front includes two round arch drawing holes with keystones, and there is a loading platform along the front. A passage for access and drainage runs along the rear of the interior, separating the kilns from the hillside.

Local climate

Lime Kiln 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 81% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 17 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.
