Description

The Shrubbery is an early 19th-century building located on Church Street, built on the site of an 18th-century house. It has two storeys and features four windows, with one window projecting from each wing. The roof is tiled and has hipped gables on the wings. The building is constructed of gault brick and has gauged flat brick arches above recessed sash windows, some of which have three lights and glazing bars. There are French windows leading to the garden, which include margin lights. The main entrance is accentuated by a prostyle Doric portico, with a doorway that has a stucco surround and a panelled door.

Local climate

The Shrubbery 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 98% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 91% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 53% 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 0.4°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.
