Description

The Casino, built around 1757-1762, is an early work by architect Sir William Chambers. It features a small tetrastyle portico with a pediment, set on a wider balustraded and rusticated basement. This striking structure is located on a hill behind Washern Grange. The building is constructed of ashlar with a brick lining. The basement includes a central entrance flanked by niches, while the upper part is accessed by balustraded stairs on the east side. A central architrave doorway leads to the picnic room, with side windows that have balustraded panels below.

Local climate

Casino receives an average of 800 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 53% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 60% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 58% of listed buildings. Of these, 14 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.
