Description

The Market House, built in 1788, is a two-storey structure with an eleven-window front and an additional blank-panelled half storey added to the three central bays. These bays are topped with a pediment featuring a bell-cupola and a round window. The building is constructed of light red brick, with parapets on the sides and stone cornices on the central section and pediment. The original windows have been replaced with casements that feature gauged brick arches. The central first-floor windows are round-headed and have been enlarged to fill the recess spaces, with narrower balustrades below them. The ground floor is adorned with a Doric colonnade, which has been filled with modern glazing. Inside, there is a Doric screen separating two ranges of stalls and a mock 17th-century staircase.

Local climate

The Market House sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 700 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 89% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 83% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 29 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 68% of listed buildings. Of these, 12 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.
