Description

This is a K6 telephone kiosk, a standardised design dating from the 1930s. It is constructed of cast iron and is square in plan. The kiosk is painted red overall, featuring long, horizontal glazing in the door and sides, with applied crowns on the top panels rather than perforated ones. Rectangular white display signs are present, reading “TELEPHONE” beneath the shallow curved roof. While most of the original large panes of glass have been replaced with polycarbonate, seventeen out of the original forty-eight margin lights remain. The interior contains modernised telephone equipment. The kiosk is situated in the centre of the village, close to the Grade I listed medieval Church of St Mary (restored by Pugin in the 1840s), the Grade II listed lychgate also designed by Pugin, and the Grade II listed 18th-century house at 52 Far Street.

K6 telephone kiosk 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 79% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 78% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 37 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 66% of listed buildings. Of these, 18 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.
