Description

Seaman's Registry was designed as staff accommodation for the Royal Mint in 1805 by James Johnson. The building is constructed of brick with some stone dressings, and its roof is not visible. It has an irregular shape with three advanced bays on the left and a four-bay return into a six-bay range. The structure stands three storeys high, with an attic and basement. The ground floor features channelled stone facing, and the windows are mostly square-headed, except for the centre window in the advanced bay, which is semi-circular and was formerly a doorway, set in a semi-circular reveal. The building has gauged heads above the ground floor windows, sash windows with glazing bars, a cornice above the second floor, and a parapet. It is included for its group value with the Royal Mint.

Local climate

Seamans Registry 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 95% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 98% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 35 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 57% 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.
