Description

The Old Ship is an early 19th-century building that was originally two or possibly three cottages. It has also served as a public house and later as a club, but is now a single house. The structure consists of two sections, resembling two houses, and features three doorways. It is two storeys high with four windows and is finished in stucco. The building has a modillion eaves cornice and a tiled roof. The sash windows include marginal glazing, and the doorways are framed by moulded architrave surrounds. Notably, the western section of the building is at a higher elevation than the eastern section.

Local climate

The Old Ship receives an average of 910 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 69% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 94% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 7 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 96% of listed buildings. Of these, 4 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.
