Description

Nos 3 and 5 on Vicarage Lane are a pair of buildings dating from the medieval period, featuring a stone arch with a dripstone above, which dates to the mid-13th century and serves as the entrance doorway. The structure likely began as a single house and includes a timber-framed building from the 16th century or earlier, with plaster infilling. The ground floor has been underbuilt and refaced with painted brick. Curved braces are present flanking the first floor. These buildings, along with No 1 (Water Lane House), Bowling Cottage, and Nos 3 to 7 on Bowling Street, form a cohesive group.

Local climate

3 and 5, Vicarage Lane 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 87% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 67% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 8 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 94% of listed buildings. Of these, 4 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.
