Description

The Art School, built in 1896 by W C Marshall, is a single-storey building with a two-storey recessed wing on the left and a low single-storey wing on the right. It features a simple neo-Jacobean style, constructed from red brick with stone dressings. A stone porch is located at the angle with the left wing. The main front has a central transmullioned oriel beneath Dutch gables. The right wing displays relief plaques of Hogarth and Reynolds flanking the central door. A high panelled chimney is situated on the left side.

Local climate

The Art School 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 97% 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 29 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 67% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 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.
