Description

The Barn is a late 18th-century building located on Rectory Road. It is two storeys high, constructed of brick, and features a dentil eaves cornice and a pantile roof. The barn has two windows, one of which includes glazing bars and wood lintels. There is a segmental cart entry as well. To the east, there is a one-storey stable extension that also has a pantile roof and a dentil cornice, along with a stable door. The building is half painted and is included as part of a group with several nearby structures, including West Retford Hall, former stables, the Cottage, Rose Ghyll Cottage, and another farm building.

Local climate

The Barn 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 97% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 93% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 54% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 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.
