Description

The Bear Inn is an inn that dates from the 17th to early 18th century. It is constructed of ironstone on the sides and rear, while the front features limestone with a stuccoed first floor. The roof is made of Welsh slate, and there are brick stacks at both ends and laterally. The building has two storeys, with 20th-century openings on the ground floor. The first floor includes a three-light casement window and two sash windows with glazing bars and nearly flush frames. Inside, there are chamfered beams and exposed joists. There is a coach entrance leading into the rear yard on the right side.

The Bear Inn sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 740 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 76% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 66% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 38 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 72% 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.
