Description

The Bury is a building likely dating from the first half of the 16th century, with the date 1677 inscribed on the rear entrance porch. It features a timber frame with plastering and a tiled roof, and consists of two storeys and attics. There is a cross wing at the south-east end, with the gable projecting on the north-west side. The building has a mix of two and three-light leaded casements, along with one gabled dormer on the north-west elevation of the main block. It is topped by three chimney stacks, each with three square shafts set diagonally. Inside, there is a notable fireplace and a staircase of special interest.

Local climate

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.

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.
