Description

The Artichoke Inn is a probable late 15th century to early 16th century timber-framed building that has been refaced with stucco. It features a first-floor window bay on the south-easternmost side that oversails on brackets. The building has two storeys and a tiled roof, with three casement windows. There is a later bar front, and inside, you can find a dragon beam and stop-chamfered beams.

Local climate

The Artichoke Inn sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 710 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 86% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 59% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 16 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 84% of listed buildings. Of these, 9 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.
