Description

The White Swan is a 17th-century building that has undergone alterations. It features a timber-framed structure with a red brick front, standing two stories high with an attic. The east side has an end gable window and there are four mullion transom casement windows. The roof is covered with machine-made pantiles, and there is a projecting brown brick chimney at the east end. A 19th-century carved wood porch is present, along with channelled cement lintels above the windows. Inside, the building has hewn chamfered beams and a crossbeam. The White Swan is part of a group that includes Nos 1 and 2, Nos 4 to 10, and Nos 25 to 28, as well as forming a group with No 38 and the White Lion on Thoroughfare.

Local climate

White Swan sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 730 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 80% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 59% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 15 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 85% of listed buildings. Of these, 9 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.
