Description

The School House, built around 1857 and designed by architect William Butterfield, is a two-storey building constructed of grey brick with yellow tiled roofs and features an L-shaped plan. The roof has a half-hipped gable and includes two-storey timber-framed bay windows. To the right, there is a gabled porch. The building has mullioned windows with sashes and glazing bars, and the upper windows of the bay have cusped heads. Brick chimney stacks are also present.

Local climate

The School 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.
