Description

The Punch Bowl Public House is a public house built around 1750, with some alterations. It features a stuccoed brick exterior and a gambrel roof that is partly covered with pantiles and partly with plain tiles. The building has three storeys plus dormers and is arranged in three bays. The ground floor has two right-hand bays that are advanced, showcasing a mid-19th century pilastered pub front. The windows are square-headed with plate glass sashes. There is a stucco band at the level of the second-floor sills, and a parapet displays the words 'The Punch Bowl' impressed in a stucco frieze below two square-headed dormers. Inside, the pub retains a dog leg closed string staircase with turned balusters, dado panelling, door architraves, corner fireplaces in the rear rooms, and a cornice in the first-floor rear room.

The Punch Bowl Public 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.
