Description

The Artesian Well is a former well house that has been converted into a residence, built in 1798. It is constructed of brown brick and features a domed cement roof. The building is octagonal and has three storeys, with one window on each face; however, alternate faces are blind. The other openings were converted into sashed windows in 1975 during the conversion into a house. There are brick bands between the storeys and a square-headed panelled door. At the rear, there is a 20th-century extension that is in keeping with the original structure.

Local climate

The Artesian Well sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 720 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 82% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 81% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 33 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 54% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 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.
