Description

The Black Swan is a public house dating from the 19th century, with some 20th-century alterations. It is constructed of red brick, which is painted at the ground floor, and features a black pantile roof. The building has two storeys and includes four windows, along with one blind window on the first floor. There are paired doors to the right of center, surrounded by fluted surrounds. On each side of the doors, there are casement windows with turned mullions and fluted pilasters. A carriage entry is located at the extreme left side of the building. The facade has a deep fascia running across its length, and the first-floor sash windows, which have glazing bars, are situated beneath a coved cornice. Additionally, there are two oval panels positioned between the windows.

Local climate

The Black Swan 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 95% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 24 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 75% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 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.
