Description

The Vicarage, built in the William and Mary Georgian style, was designed by architect Sir Edwin Lutyens. It follows the Wren plan, featuring a recessed center flanked by side wings. The building is two storeys high with dormers. The central entrance has a wooden doorcase designed in stone, topped with a broken pediment, and there is a balustraded parapet above. The ground storey of the wings has camber arched windows, while a brick niche is located on the first storey of the wings. The recessed center has three window bays, with the middle bay being blank. Each wing has one dormer above it. The structure is constructed of silver grey and purple bricks, accented with red brick dressings, and features a moulded wooden eaves cornice. On the south-east return elevation, there are three windows on the ground floor, all with camber heads, and three dormers. The north-west elevation has five windows on the ground floor, three on the first floor, and also three dormers.

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 98% 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 30 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 66% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 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.
