Description
A gas lamp standard, dating from around 1900. Constructed of cast iron, it features a fluted shaft with a splayed base and culminates in a cushion-shaped top with a minimal waterleaf capital. Four curved wrought-iron stays support a glazed mantle cage, and a double bell finial sits atop the lamp. The gas apparatus remains in working order. This lamp forms part of a significant grouping around Peter's Field and is included on the list for its contribution to the wider group.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 57% 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.
