Description

Deans Yard is a terraced house built in 1862 by Sir George Gilbert Scott. It is constructed of red brick with stone dressings and features a slate roof, showcasing a plain Gothic style. The building has three storeys, a basement, and a gabled attic, and it is three windows wide. To the right, there is a recessed entrance bay approached by steps, which contains a two-centred arched shafted doorway. The windows are mullioned and transomed, with cusped heads above the casement lights. The building also has a weathered saddlestone on the kneelers and stone-dressed chimney stacks with offsets. Deans Yard is included as part of a group of buildings designed by Scott for the Church and Westminster School, and it features ornate cast iron Gothic area railings.

Local climate

Deans Yard 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.
