Description

Clifton School is a village school dated 1871, established by Henry Robert Clifton. It is built of red brick with ashlar dressings and features a slate roof in the Renaissance Revival style. The building has a chamfered plinth and quoins, along with dentillated eaves. The windows are wooden framed cross casements, and the school is a single storey with a three-window range. The centre bay slightly projects and features an elaborate shaped gable that incorporates a bell turret topped with a wind vane. There is a two-light window with a stone mullion and a segmental pediment below the gable, which also displays a datestone and coat of arms. The side bays each have a single window under cornices.

Clifton School sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 720 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 83% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 85% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 37 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 66% of listed buildings. Of these, 17 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.
