Description

The Woolpack Hotel is a timber-framed building, likely dating from the 16th to 17th century, now with a front made of painted brick. It is L-shaped and located at the extreme north end of the west front, where some timber-framing is still visible, facing the churchyard. The building has two storeys, two windows, and a half-hipped gable that features a window on the second floor. The gable is covered with tiles. The windows are modern casements, and the doorway has a depressed arch. The Woolpack Hotel is part of a group of listed buildings on the north side of High Street, ranging from Nos 10 to 44, which includes the Church of St Mildred.

It experiences an average of 24 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 74% 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.
