Development History
February 2009: A member of the public contacts SCT to nominate the building for potential inclusion to the Register.
June 2009: External inspection finds weathering stonework and vegetation encroachment are the main threats to the testimonial. There is the potential for a lightning strike as the building‘s lightning conductor has been vandalised.
29 October 2012: External inspection finds no significant change from the previous site visit. The lightning conductor remains un-earthed.
30 June 2016: External inspection finds the building remains in much the same condition as seen previously. The lightning conductor appears to have been earthed.
