Description

The Kings Head is a two-storey building dating from the 17th century, situated on the west side of Church Street. It has a tiled roof and rendered walls. The upper floor features two original sash windows with complete sixteen-pane glazing bars. The ground-floor windows are modern replacements, consisting of clear glass with two lights above and a single modern sash below. A bead-faced, two-panel door, with missing glazing bars in the upper portion, provides access. The building forms a group with numbers 3 to 11 (odd) and an adjoining wall.

Local climate

The Kings Head 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.

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.
