Description

Storey's Almshouses, located on Shelley Row, were built in 1844 in the Tudor style. The building is constructed from yellow brick with freestone dressings and consists of two storeys. It features a plinth, a moulded stringcourse at the first floor level, and a parapet with moulded coping. The ground floor has three-light mullioned and transomed windows, while the upper floor has two and three-light windows. There are projecting pointed arched porches with paired entrances, although the doors are modern. The roofs are covered with slate and have prominent brick stacks with grouped shafts.

Storey's Almshouses sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 96% 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 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.
