Description

The Gazebo is an open octagonal structure built with simple metal construction on a rubble plinth. It features five segmental steps leading up from the west. A central column, constructed from reused terracotta chimney sections dating from the second quarter of the 19th century, supports a sloped conical metal roof topped with a ball finial. The eaves are adorned with decorative cresting, and between the paired plain outer colonnettes, there are six decorative iron panels depicting mermaids.

Local climate

The Gazebo sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,490 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 98% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 97% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 60% 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.
