Description

The Old Ship Inn is a public house dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed of rendered brick and features double-gabled, low-pitched slate roofs with four stacks, two on each ridge. The building is two storeys high and has a three-window range. At the rear, there is a 20th-century single-storey extension with a gabled slate roof.

The front elevation includes three small-paned sash windows with margin glazing on the first floor. The central door has a semicircular-arched head, complete with a keystone and impost blocks. On either side of the door are tripartite sash windows, each with a central vertical glazing bar, and all windows feature a keystone. The eastern flank of the building has three sash windows on the first floor and a projecting 20th-century hipped slate-roofed lean-to, which is fully glazed with arch-headed lights and glass louvres for ventilation, along with white boarding up to the sill. The interior has not been inspected.

Local climate

The Old Ship Inn sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 730 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 78% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 59% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 15 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 86% of listed buildings. Of these, 8 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.
