Description

Carmelite Priory is a priory built between 1886 and 1889 by the architects Goldie, Child and Goldie. It features a long range of five-storey buildings constructed from stock brick with stone dressings, designed in a flamboyant Gothic style. The windows are square-headed and have stone surrounds. The building is topped with a tall slate roof that includes a parapet and stone gabled, pinnacled dormers. The return elevation to the left is also noteworthy.

Carmelite Priory sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 700 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 93% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 94% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 51% 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.
