Description

The Lodge is a house with a core dating from the 17th century, which was altered in the early 19th century. It has a T-shaped form and stands two storeys high. The main range runs north-south and is timber-framed, slightly extended along the east front and faced with white brick from the early 19th century. The rear range runs east-west and is rendered. There are end chimney-stacks on the main range, set externally on the gables. The building features a five-window range with small-paned sash windows in cased frames, topped with flat gauged arches. The upper storey windows are smaller and have vertical bars only. The entrance has panelled double doors with a semi-circular fanlight above. Inside the rear range, some timber-framing is partly exposed. Additionally, there is a two-storey brick extension from around 1870 in the north-east corner, which has windows with heavy arched surrounds and a dentil cornice, along with a band of decorated bricks similar to those found on the nearby school.

Local climate

The Lodge sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 710 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 86% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 95% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 33 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 53% of listed buildings. Of these, 17 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.
