Description

North Lodge is a lodge cottage built around 1838. It is constructed of red brick with moulded brickwork and features a red plain tiled roof. The building has left and center red brick chimney stacks with moulded bases and capping. To the left, there is a two-storey gabled crosswing, while the right side consists of a one-storey range with attics. A central band of moulded brickwork runs from left to right, leading to an enclosed gabled porch at the center of the right range, which also has a moulded brick band above it. The right range features an eaves band of cinquefoil moulding, and both the crosswing and porch gables have moulded cornices, along with a right parapet verge. A moulded band on the crosswing gable extends over a segmental-headed first-floor window. Above this band, there is a stone panel on the porch gable with a central stone shield. The ground floor has a 3:1 window range, with all windows featuring panes of leaded colored glass and segmental heads. The doorway has a moulded segmental arch and a vertically boarded door. North Lodge and its attached walls are part of the stable complex listed separately. It was originally built as a dwelling house and school for the village.

North Lodge 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 97% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 85% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 60% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 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.
