Description
The Bury is a Grade II* listed building, originally a Royal Manor House dating from the early 13th century. It is located to the east of the moated site of a pre-conquest Norman castle and is believed to have left the crown as a gift around 1260. The house features a timber-framed and plastered construction with an aisled hall, a cross entrance passage, and a buttery at the west end.
In the 16th to 17th centuries, a floor and chimney stack were added, and the south front was extended in the 17th century to include three large gables. A smaller gabled wing projects from the center gable, jettied over the entrance doorway, which has an old boarded door. The building has casement windows and a roof that is tiled and slopes down to ground storey window level at the rear.
Much of the original frame is still visible on the interior, including one framed truss with long passing braces and open lapped joints that remains almost intact, while the others have mostly been cut away.

The Bury sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 700 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 91% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 79% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 35 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 54% of listed buildings. Of these, 17 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.
