Description

Lindeth Tower is a summerhouse built in 1842 by H.P. Fleetwood Esq., as noted on a slate plaque above the door. It is constructed of limestone rubble and has a square plan with a battlemented parapet. The structure stands three storeys tall, with one bay on each side. The south-east wall features a sashed window without glazing bars and plain reveals on the ground floor. The other walls have sashed windows with glazing bars, plain reveals, deeply projecting sills, and square-section label moulds. The doorway, located in the north-east wall, is accessed by stone steps and has plain reveals, along with a door that features a raised moulded diamond pattern and studs. Notably, Mrs. Gaskell did some of her writing here.

Local climate

Lindeth Tower sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,440 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 98% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 97% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 51% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 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.
