Description

The Spring is a structure located on the east side of Newport Road in Gayhurst, built before 1793 as part of Repton's landscape design. It features a rectangular stone base with semicircular ends and a moulded plinth, which includes a hole for water at the base and a rectangular stone basin below. Surrounding the spring are wrought iron railings adorned with arrowheads and urns. One of the stone urns has been broken from its base.

The Spring sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 710 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 86% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 86% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 35 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 56% 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.
