Description

Red House is an 18th-century building located on Market Hill. It stands three storeys tall and is constructed of red brick with stone dressings. The building features a moulded cornice below the parapet and has five windows with moulded architraves, although two of these on the top floor are merely recesses. The entrance is marked by a doorway that includes pilasters, a frieze, and a cornice topped with a blocking course. A plaque at the first floor level notes that Walter Theodore Watts-Dunton lived here for many years. Red House is part of a group with the Robin Hood Public House.

Local climate

Red House 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 95% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 35 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 56% 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.
