Description

Tower House is a largely 19th-century building that incorporates a 14th-century tower from the City Wall. It stands three storeys high and is constructed of flint and rubble, with stone or brick dressings. The tower features crenellations and the building has a tiled roof. There is one curved protruding gable, and the windows are two and three-light lancets set within brick hood mouldings. The front elevation displays two gables.

Local climate

Tower 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 90% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 52% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 14 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 87% of listed buildings. Of these, 7 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.
