Description
The George Inn is a late 18th-century building, originally a range of attached cottages, which has been altered in the 20th century and is now a public house. The building is timber-framed and has a roughcast rendered exterior with some weatherboarding, covered by a roof of handmade red plain tiles. The main range faces southeast, with axial stacks positioned to the left of the middle and at the right end, and a rear wing extends to the left. Rear extensions have also been added. The ground floor has three pairs of early 20th-century sash windows, each with two lights. The first floor features three 19th or 20th-century sash windows, each with twelve lights. There are two half-glazed doors, and a full-length, coved fascia displays the name "The George." The roof is hipped at the left end. The lower storey of the left return is weatherboarded, while the upper storey is plastered.
Local climate
The George Inn sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 680 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 99% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 60% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 20 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 78% of listed buildings. Of these, 10 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.
