Description

The George and Dragon Inn is a building that likely dates back to the 17th century. It is an L-shaped structure that has been refaced with roughcast and features a tiled roof. On the north-west side, there are three windows above one bay, while the south-west side has two windows—one with two lights above another with three lights, and one window with fixed glazing. Most of the windows are hung sashes but do not have glazing bars. The building has two doors with flat hoods, one of which is supported by carved brackets. Additionally, there are three windows on the south elevation.

Local climate

The George and Dragon Inn 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 90% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 52% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 14 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 87% of listed buildings. Of these, 7 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.
