Description

White Shieling is a timber-framed building from the 16th century or earlier, originally consisting of two cottages that have been combined into one dwelling. It has two storeys and features five irregularly spaced windows. The building has a later projecting central section with a low gable, which likely housed a former chimney. The exposed timber framing has been largely restored and includes plastered filling. There is a rubble plinth and rubble walls on a small, projecting extension to the right. The windows are small modern leaded casements, and there are modern extensions at the rear. Inside, some timber framing is still visible.

Local climate

White Shieling receives an average of 750 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 70% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 71% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 37 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 67% of listed buildings. Of these, 18 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.
