Description

Owen Webb House, built around 1830, is a two-storey building constructed of gault brick with a hipped slate roof. The entrance features a porch supported by fluted Greek Ionic columns and an entablature. The front has five windows, including French windows and one canted bay on the ground floor, with sash windows that have glazing bars above. Some original internal fittings are still present.

Local climate

Owen Webb House 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 82% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 57% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 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.
