Description

Capel Nelmes is a rambling house of three main periods, largely presenting a late 19th-century appearance. A 16th-century rear wing exists, alongside a late 19th-century front block, with alterations and additions dating to the 1930s and 1940s. The construction is primarily brick, with sections tile-hung and incorporating half-timbering, all beneath tile roofs. The house is two storeys high. The early 17th-century staircase, reportedly transferred from Capel Nelmes in the early 20th century, consists of three flights with turned balusters. The rear wing, originally a stable block, dates to the 16th century, constructed of red brick that has been extensively repaired, and features an old tile roof. Modern windows are present throughout, with the exception of a two-light attic window with a moulded frame, inset into the east gable. The upper floor of the rear wing displays exposed beams.

Local climate

Capel Nelmes sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 660 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 99% 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 25 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 73% of listed buildings. Of these, 11 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.
