Description
The Priory is a 17th-century timber-framed and plastered building located on the site of the old priory. It is believed that part of the old priory kitchen is incorporated into the structure. The building has a tiled roof and consists of two storeys, attics, and cellars. At the rear, there are two small gables and a small wing extending to the west. The east front was altered in the 18th century and features a range of double-hung sash windows with glazing bars, along with a Tuscan porch.
Local climate
The Priory 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 86% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 78% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 30 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 65% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 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.
