Description

The Old School House is a house located in Empingham, likely built in 1838. It is constructed from coursed rubble stone and features quoins, stone dressings, a first-floor sill band, and a hipped roof made of Collyweston slate, which has moulded stone side stacks. The building has two storeys and includes three 6/6 sash windows, each with lintels that have keystones. The central entrance consists of a two-leaved door topped with an overlight, where the glazing bars create a diamond pattern, and is sheltered by a flat stone canopy supported by carved consoles. At the rear, there is a two-storey extension with a brick stack. This house was almost certainly built at the same time as the school next door.

Local climate

The Old School House sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 730 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 78% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 79% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 50% of listed buildings. Of these, 17 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.
