Description

Budgens, located at 18 North Street, is a building from the 18th century featuring a plastered front that is supported by an earlier timber frame. It has an old red tile hipped roof and stands three storeys tall with three windows. The windows are 18th-century sashes, with the outer ones on the first floor being triple-hung. There is a band above the first floor and a plain parapet at the top. A near lifesize plaster statue of a deer is positioned over the centre of the modern shop front. Inside, some timbers are exposed. This building is included for its group value.

It experiences an average of 35 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 55% of listed buildings. Of these, 17 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.
