Description

The Spring is a spring head dating from 1688 and the mid 19th century. It is constructed from limestone ashlar. The structure features a small circular chamber over the spring, which is accessed through a segment-headed chamfered arch. The front of the chamber has a slightly raised center with a chamfered band above it. Above this is a moulded top adorned with scroll work and a central scroll inscribed with the year 1688. In front of the well, there is a pool with battered ashlar sides.

Local climate

The Spring 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 82% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 31 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 60% 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.

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.
