Description

Little Dean's Yard, No 1, is a school house rebuilt in 1896 by Sir T.G. Jackson at the western end of Rigaud's house. It is constructed of red brick with a tiled roof and is designed in a Neo late-Jacobean style. The building stands three storeys high and features dormers, with a width of four windows. To the right, there is an architraved doorway with a segmental hood. The wood mullioned-transomed casement windows are set under flat gauged arches, and there are moulded brick swags above the first-floor windows. The building has a parapet with coping and pedimented dormers. It is included in the listing for its group interest, associated with Westminster School.

Local climate

Little 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.
