Description

The Priory is a house, likely constructed between 1840 and 1850, possibly on the site of an earlier building. It features a two-storey front with battlements, made of stucco over rubble, and includes 19th-century Gothic traceried windows. The roof is a Welsh slate mansard style. The house has three bays, two storeys, and an attic, with two three-light dormers. There have been later additions to the structure. Inside, there are some early to mid-19th-century fittings.

Local climate

The Priory 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 80% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 72% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 52% 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.
