Description

Leapra Cross is a medieval wayside cross made of granite. It features a Latin cross with a cross carved in high relief on both faces, although the left arm is broken off. Originally, this cross was built into a wall at Moorgate Farm. In the early 20th century, it was relocated to the newly constructed Manor House at North Bovey, and in 1937, it was moved to its current position.

Local climate

Leapra Cross receives an average of 900 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 67% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 75% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 27 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 70% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 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.
