Description
The Roebuck is a public house dated 1789, constructed of stone with watershot coursing at the front and rubble at the rear, topped with a slate roof and gable chimneys. The building has a double-pile, three-bay plan and stands two storeys high. It features prominent quoins and sill bands on both floors. The central doorway is framed by a moulded architrave and topped with a moulded open segmental pediment supported by scrolled brackets. Above the doorway on the first floor is a moulded and shouldered datestone inscribed with "T R. M'" and a single-light window. There are two windows on each floor, all with plain stone cases. A later single-storey extension is located at the left end of the building. At the rear, the roof continues to a lower level, and there are two single-storey lean-to extensions attached to the rear wall. The interior has been altered.
Local climate
The Roebuck sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,200 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 91% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 87% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 38 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 73% of listed buildings. Of these, 20 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.
