Description
Asgill House, on Old Palace Lane, was designed by Sir Robert Taylor and completed in 1767 as a weekend retreat for Sir Charles Asgill, the Lord Mayor of London. It is illustrated in Volume IV of Vitruvius Britannicas. The house stands three storeys high, with a five-window facade. A projecting, canted bay dominates the river front, flanked by wings on either side. There is a pedimented bay at first-floor level. The building was altered and extended during the 19th century, but has been recently restored to its original appearance. The exterior is stone-faced, with a rusticated ground floor. It has a slated roof with deep bracketed eaves. The ground floor windows are arched, while the upper floor windows are square-headed sashes. The first-floor octagonal room contains paintings by Andrea Casali.
Local climate

It experiences an average of 30 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 64% 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.
