Description

Weaver's Den is a house that dates back to the 16th century or earlier. It features a timber frame that is exposed, with plaster infill, and has weather boarding on the rear and return elevations, along with a red and blue brick outshot. The roof is plain tiled. The building has a lobby entry plan typical of hall houses and consists of five framed bays, with a later addition on the left end.

The house stands two storeys high and showcases large panel framing with irregular tension and arched bracing. There is a small section of studding at the upper end on the right. The roof is half-hipped to the right, with moulded and clustered stacks positioned to the right, and a projecting outshot attached at the left end.

On each floor, there are five wooden and metal casement windows, along with boarded doors located to the left, centre right, and at the end right. A blocked door frame is found to the right in front of the stack, and there is a small section of moulding over the doorway at centre right, which may have been moved. At the rear, there is a catslide outshot. Historical records suggest that this building was once a cloth hall, and Igglesden noted soot blackened roof timbers and an 'elegantly carved' window frame, which is now decayed.

Local climate

Weaver's Den sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 730 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 81% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 55% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 26 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 72% of listed buildings. Of these, 12 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.
