Description

Vestry House is a late 19th-century building constructed of red brick and stone. It features a stone doorcase with an elaborate overdoor and a pediment that displays the initials "SP" above a panel of foliage inscribed with "Vestry House." The first floor has an oriel window topped by a large triangular gable that projects on scrolled consoles, while the second floor windows are set within the gable. Additionally, there is an octagonal corner stair turret topped with a pointed roof.

Local climate

Vestry House 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 95% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 98% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 35 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 57% 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.
