Description

St Runwalds is a building constructed in the 1870s, using some materials from the demolished St Runwald's Church located in the centre of the High Street. The ground floor features stone rubble with brick dressings. The building has two storeys and includes a cross wing on the north side, with tiled roofs. The main block's upper storey is tile hung at the front and has a three-window range of double hung sashes with glazing bars. The cross wing's upper storey displays imitation timber framing, and the front gable is hipped back.

Local climate

St Runwalds sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 670 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 99% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 51% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 18 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 83% of listed buildings. Of these, 9 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.
