Description

The Minster Press is likely late 18th century. It has brick walls and a hipped tiled roof. The building is two storeys high. The ground floor features a central doorway with a raised panelled door within a good classical surround, which includes a broken pediment and moulded timber pilasters. Two casement windows are present on the ground floor, replacing original sash windows. Above, there are three similar windows on the first floor. Inside, some panelled doors and a contemporary staircase with simple balusters remain.

It experiences an average of 13 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 88% of listed buildings. Of these, 5 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.
