Description

The Manor House is an L-shaped house built by Benjamin Cracker in the early 18th century. It has been restored after suffering damage during the war. The building is two storeys high and constructed of red brick, which has been renewed. It features a tiled roof and a parapet. The house has five windows that are not symmetrically placed, with sashes that retain their glazing bars. The north wing includes a cornice and a round-headed window, while the south-east wing has a doorcase with a flat hood above and a rectangular fanlight.

Local climate

The Manor House 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 85% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 85% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 30 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 64% of listed buildings. Of these, 14 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.
