Description

The Jubilee Arch is a large-scale structure made of rubble stone, featuring rustic stonework with large blocks and recessed joints that create the appearance of dry-stone walling. It has two broad tapering piers on each side that support a narrower segmental pointed arch made of stone voussoirs. While there is some infill in the spandrels, the voussoirs are only present at the crown of the arch. The arch is slightly twisted.

Local climate

The Jubilee Arch sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,260 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 93% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 88% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 49 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 91% of listed buildings. Of these, 28 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.
