Description

The Old Rectory is a house dating from around 1780, with a possibly older single-storey range to the right. It is constructed of red brick and features a double range red tile roof. The building has two storeys and attics, with three flat-headed dormers. There is a five-window range of small-paned vertical sliding sashes and a parapet. The central entrance consists of a six-panel door topped with an attractive semi-circular fanlight, which is framed by an open pediment supported by foliate brackets, along with a moulded surround and panelled reveals. The single-storey range to the side includes four small-paned casements and displays a central Phoenix Insurance Plaque. The garden front features two slightly projecting bays, each with pediments. Additionally, there are remains of a moat to the north of the house.

Local climate

The Old Rectory 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 96% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 58% 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.
