Description

The Old Gatehouse is an early 16th-century gatehouse that once served the Manor House of the Paget family, which was demolished in 1750. It is constructed of red brick and stands two storeys tall. The gatehouse features a four-centred archway with moulded jambs, a label, and two fold doors that include a wicket on the right side. There are two semi-octagonal battlemented bays, each containing three 19th-century casement windows. The structure is topped with a modern crenellated parapet and chimneystacks. The Old Gatehouse is part of a group that includes St Martin's Church, the churchyard walls, the gatehouse and wall to the north, and the wall running to Gatehouse Nurseries.

Local climate

The Old Gatehouse sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 700 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 89% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 83% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 29 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 68% of listed buildings. Of these, 12 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.
