Description

The Burning Bush is a lamp standard built in 1864 by Henry Woodyer. It features an ashlar octagonal pedestal set on a stepped base, topped with an elaborate wrought-iron standard that has twisted shafts adorned with foliage decoration. At the top, there is a tall octagonal lamp with crenellation and a short conical spire that includes small lucarnes. Originally designed as a gas lamp, it has since been converted to electricity.

Local climate

Burning Bush 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 87% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 82% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 59% 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.
