Description

This is a roadside cross, which is now in a state of ruin. It features the stump of a square shaft set in a square socket that rests on a base made up of three restored square steps. The sides of the socket still show traces of arcading.

Roadside Cross sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,170 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 90% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 94% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 19 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 80% 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.
