Description

The Rectory, built around 1735, is a two-storey building with an 'H' plan layout, constructed of colourwashed red brick. Both the front and rear elevations have a similar design featuring two bays, three central bays, and two additional bays, all with sash windows that have cambered heads. The building is topped with a tiled roof that is hipped over the wings, and it includes a simple eaves cornice and bands between the storeys. A central modern brick porch is also present, along with a central gable that has plain coping and a small round-headed window.

Local climate

The Rectory 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.
