Description

The Old School, built between 1899 and 1900 by Leonard Stokes, is a two-storey building with ashlar facing and red brick rear elevations. The central block is flanked by single-storey wings that are taller at the back. It features a pointed arched doorway with a three-light mullioned window above it. There is a sculpted panel between the door and the window, although it is now hidden by a company board. On either side of the entrance, there are two-storey, seven-light mullioned bay windows. The building is topped with a slate roof that includes a timber bell cupola.

Local climate

The Old School 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 77% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 70% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 50% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 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.
