Description

Bancroft House is a late 18th century or early 19th century building with a plastered front that conceals an earlier timber-framed structure from the 16th century. It has two storeys and features a two-window range with double-hung sashes that include glazing bars. The central entrance consists of a six-panel door with raised and fielded panels, topped by a semi-circular fanlight. This is framed by a Doric porch that has fluted columns, an ornamental frieze, and a modillion cornice. The roof is tiled. Inside, the house boasts fine 16th century moulded ceiling beams. Bancroft House is part of a group that includes Nos 66 to 78 (even) with 57 to 61 (odd), Munnions, Banstreets, Bell Street, the Church of St Mary, and the Vicarage on Church Street.

It experiences an average of 24 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 74% 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.
