Description

The Battery is a late 19th-century structure located at Clumber Park in Worksop. It features a square canted projection into Clumber Lake, constructed from coursed squared rubble with ashlar coping. The design includes an earth rampart enclosed by ashlar end walls. To the right of the structure, there are steps flanked by a chamfered dwarf wall. Inside, there are nine stands for cannon balls. This building is included in the register for its group value only.

Local climate

The Battery sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 730 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 78% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 87% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 37 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 65% of listed buildings. Of these, 18 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.
