Description

Frogs Hall is a pair of cottages, originally a single house, dating from the early to mid 17th century. The building follows a 3-cell cross-passage plan. The main range is single-storied with attics, while the parlour cross-wing rises to two storeys. The structure is timber-framed and plastered; the gable on the left side and part of the rear wall were rebuilt in the 20th century using brick. The roof is covered in Roman pantiles, with a 19th-century gabled casement dormer. An axial 17th-century chimney exists, with the shaft largely rebuilt in red brick during the 19th century. Various 19th and 20th-century casement windows and panelled entrance doors are present. The hall and parlour each have back-to-back open fireplaces. The parlour features unmoulded exposed timber framing, characteristic of the 17th century, with chamfered and on-edge floor joists. The roof is a wind-braced butt-purlin construction.

Frogs Hall sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 700 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 91% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 67% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 24 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 74% of listed buildings. Of these, 12 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.
