Description
The Bawn is a late 18th century building with a timber-framed and plastered front, which likely covers an earlier timber-framed structure from the 17th century. It stands three storeys high and includes a cellar. The facade features a four-window range with double-hung sash windows that have glazing bars, all set in flush cased frames. The entrance boasts a six-panel door topped by a rectangular fanlight and is adorned with a cornice supported by console brackets. The roof is covered with slate. Inside, there is some panelling, exposed ceiling joists on the first storey, and an 18th-century staircase. The Bawn is part of a group of listed buildings that includes Nos 19 to 41 on the west side and Nos 4 to 20 on the east side, as well as a group from Nos 37 to 89 on the west side that forms a connection with Nos 24 to 56A on the east side.
Local climate
The Bawn 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 75% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 28 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 70% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 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.
