Description

Museum Lodge is a building from 1888 designed by T N Deane. It is constructed of ashlar and has two storeys. The north front features five windows on the ground floor and two paired windows in the gables above. There is a cast-iron gutter at the first floor level. The windows include two, three, and four light designs, some of which have shaped and carved drip moulds. A bay window is also present. The entrance is located on the south side of the building. The roof is covered with red tiles and includes gables and a turret, all topped with finials.

Local climate

Museum Lodge sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 730 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 77% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 70% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 50% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 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.
