Description

Ringhill Cross is a wayside cross dating from the 15th century, possibly earlier. It is made from granite ashlar and stands approximately 2 metres high, carved from a single piece of granite. The cross features short stubby arms, and a simple cross is inscribed at the intersection of the arms, head, and shaft.

Local climate

Ringhill Cross sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 960 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 75% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 70% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 37 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 66% of listed buildings. Of these, 18 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.
