Description

The Vicarage was built in 1744 as a school by Sir Henry Fermor, as noted by an inscription on the building. It is a two-storey structure with five windows, constructed from ashlar. The central portion, which has three windows, projects slightly and features long and short quoins along with a pediment above. The central first-floor window is round-headed with a keystone above it. There is a stone eaves cornice and a hipped tiled roof. The windows are set in stone architrave surrounds and retain their glazing bars. The entrance features a rusticated doorway with a flat hood supported by brackets. Additionally, a wing with two window bays was added to the east in 1894.

The Vicarage receives an average of 760 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 67% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 57% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 30 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 65% of listed buildings. Of these, 14 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.
