Description

The Greyhound is a public house, originally a house and possibly a priest's house, dating from the 16th century. It is timber framed with colourwashed render and has a plain tiled roof, which was likely thatched originally. The building has two storeys.

On the entrance front, which was refaced in the 19th century, there is a doorway located to the left of centre. To the left of the doorway is a 4-light 19th-century casement window, and to the right are a 4-light and a 3-light casement window. The first floor features four 2-light casements. The roof has a single-flue stack at right of centre, a cross-axial stack with two flues at left of centre, and another 2-flue stack at the left-hand gable end.

The left-hand gable end has lean-tos on both sides of the stack, which has offsets. The wall behind this is timber framed with brick nogged infill and includes a jowled corner post on the left. The right-hand gable end features a 19th-century outshut on the right with a 2-light casement on the left, and a 3-light casement window on the first floor, which may date from the 19th or 20th century. There is also a hatch doorway leading to the attic.

At the rear, the ground floor has English bond brick walling that is blank. Above an offset, the wall is close studded with ogee-arched braces, a decoratively carved sill plate, and nogged brick infill that has been colourwashed. There are two-light and 4 x 2 pane sash windows inserted in old surrounds near the centre and at the far right, respectively, along with three further blocked windows.

Inside, the bar areas have chamfered ceiling beams with plain joists. The original two rooms have been opened up to create one space, while another ground floor room retains chamfered and ogee end stopped joists. Some first floor rooms have raised ceilings and jowled wall posts.

Local climate

The Greyhound sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 96% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 50% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 14 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 87% of listed buildings. Of these, 8 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.
