Description

The Game Larder is a game larder built around 1750, likely designed by Sanderson Miller for William Holbech. It features rendered brick walls and limestone columns, topped with a cupola made of painted wood and slate pyramidal roofs. The structure has a hexagonal plan and includes a loggia on three sides supported by four Tuscan columns, with two columns positioned in antis. The plain entablature has a prominent dentil cornice. At the rear, there is a half-glazed, flush, four-panelled door. The louvered cupola has a projecting hood supported by brackets at its base. Inside, there is a hanging wheel with hooks and a windlass.

It experiences an average of 38 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 71% 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.
