Description

Redwards is an old people's home that was originally part of the service accommodation for Ellel Grange. It was built between 1857 and 1859 and is now a detached building due to recent demolitions. The structure is made of squared sandstone and features a hipped slate roof. It has two storeys and three bays, with a sill band on the first floor and a cornice. The left-hand corner has been reconstructed. The windows are sashed, with glazing bars and architraves. There are two chimneys on the ridge, each adorned with a bracketed string and a bracketed cornice.

Local climate

Redwards sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,370 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 97% 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 28 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 69% of listed buildings. Of these, 12 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.
