Description

The Headmaster's House, formerly known as The Grove, is a late 16th century or early 17th century building that was remodeled by Stanley Hamp around 1912. It has an irregular shape with a three-window center and gabled cross wings at either end, positioned at right angles to the road. The house is two storeys high and features whitened weatherboard, although the ground floor and the north-east cross wing have been cemented. The north-east wing projects towards the garden front. The entrance door is topped with an early 18th century flat hood supported by carved brackets, and the house has mainly 18th century glazing. There are also some interesting interior features.

Local climate

The Headmasters 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 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.
