Description

The Weavers is a 17th-century timber-framed house located at 1 to 3 St Peter's Street, dating back to 1500. This building served as one of the workshops for Huguenot weavers. It has been restored, with the timbering renewed and the infilling now covered in roughcast. The structure features two storeys and an attic, with three gables and three windows on the street front, where the first floor overhangs on the protruding ends of the floor joists. The street-facing side has modern shop fronts. The river elevation displays five gables and five restored mullioned and transomed bays with leaded lights. Inside, there is a renewed king post and a restored staircase, along with a wrought iron fire grate dated 1641. Nos 1 to 10 St Peter's Street form a group.

Local climate

The Weavers 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.
