Description

Weavers is a 16th-century house that features one-and-a-half storeys and a three-cell plan, now with a lobby entrance. There is a lean-to extension at the north end. The house is timber-framed and plastered, topped with a thatched roof. On the east side, there are four irregularly spaced fleur-de-lys in plaster relief. Inside, there is an internal chimney stack with a plain red brick shaft. The windows are randomly placed and include various 20th-century casement windows, along with two gabled dormers, the larger of which is at the north end and has an additional section of framing above the wallplate. A 20th-century rustic porch leads to a plank door. The frame is partly exposed inside, showcasing full-height studs and reversed braces in the middle section. One ceiling on the ground storey has exposed unchamfered joists and a large main beam. The bay to the north of the stack is slightly narrower than the rest of the frame, featuring two apparently open trusses with cambered tie-beams and arched braces that may be medieval. It is possible that the house originally extended for another bay to the south. To the north of the stack, there is a late queen-post roof with the purlins set in the plane of the roof.

Local climate

Weavers 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 88% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 99% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 60% 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.
