Description

This is a barn dating from the late 18th century, constructed of brick with a thatched roof. It is a single storey building with a hay loft. The east side features a 20th-century garage, double doors, and two windows with segmental hoods. The south gable has also been altered in the 20th century. The north gable displays tumbling on the kneelers. Inside, there is a ceiling made of a reused 16th-century roll moulded bridging beam and sunk roll moulded joists.

Local climate

Barn sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 710 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 88% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 99% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 60% 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.
