Description

The Clock House, dating from the 18th century, is a two-storey building constructed of red brick with a hipped Welsh slate roof. The façade features five first-floor casement windows with glazing bars and four ground-floor sash windows with glazing bars, all set beneath segmental-headed panels. The central doorway is framed by a surround of Roman Doric pilasters and a cornice. At the top of the building, there is a central clock tower topped with a cupola that has a lead roof.

Local climate

The Clock House 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 80% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 77% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 33 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 53% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 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.
