Description

The Vicarage is a house dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed of red brick and has a slate roof. The building has a plan of two parallel ranges, which was established after the addition of a north block in the mid-19th century. It is two storeys high, with a south front that features three bays, each separated by brick pilasters. The corners have clasping pilasters topped with block entablatures. There are three unhorned sash windows with 6/6 panes on each floor, each window having rebated cusped canopies and gauged skewback arches. The ground-floor skewback arches are cased in lead, while the upper ones are painted. The central lower window replaced a former entrance door around 1980. The roof is gabled with a central ridge stack and a gable-end stack on the east side. The west return shows two gable ends, both featuring shaped gables. Inside, there is a stick-baluster staircase with turned newel posts, a ramped handrail, and scrolled tread-ends.

Local climate

The Vicarage 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 97% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 90% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 29 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 67% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 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.
