Description

Skirbeck Hall is a rectory built in 1847 by Edward Lapidge, currently vacant. The building features Gault brick in Flemish bond with ashlar dressings, a stone coped brick plinth, and a parapet and cornice in brick. It has a shallow pitched slate roof with lead dressings and wall and ridge stacks, and an irregular plan.

The exterior consists of two storeys. The front block, which contains the entrance, is taller and has a canted end bay window with glazing bar sashes on each side and on the floor. The side entrance bay is advanced, featuring a stone moulded door surround with a dentillated open pediment and moulded console brackets. Above this is a glazing bar sash with a shouldered stone surround. The lower wing to the west has four bays arranged in a 1:3 pattern. The three ground floor openings are blocked, while the others contain glazing bar sashes. At the rear, there is a two-storey wing with a hipped roof and dormers, along with a 20th-century flat-roofed block built in the angle between the rear and front blocks.

Inside, the principal rooms have panelled doors and shutters, a stick baluster staircase, and arches leading to the hallway. Skirbeck Hall was constructed for Rev Dr William Roy after the previous rectory was destroyed by fire.

Local climate

Skirbeck Hall sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 96% 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 25 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 73% of listed buildings. Of these, 12 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.
