Description

Church Cottage is a house that was later divided into three cottages. It likely dates from the late 16th century, with a later extension to the south. The building has an L-shaped plan and is constructed of timber framing with plaster, topped by a plain tiled roof. It has two storeys, and the main range features a three-cell plan. Most of the windows are mid-20th century small pane casements, and there is a boarded door with applied battens on the later wing. Each wing has one internal stack.

Local climate

Church Cottage sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 670 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 99% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 79% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 26 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 73% 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.
