Description

The Priory, formerly known as the Vicarage, is a house located on the site of the original Priory of Sele and likely incorporates materials from the medieval structure. Most of the building, however, dates from 1792. It is two storeys high with an attic and features three windows and two dormers. The exterior is made of painted brick and has a dentilled eaves cornice, along with a slate roof. The glazing bars are intact. The façade has two bays on both the ground and first floors. The entrance is accessed by four steps and includes engaged columns, a pediment, a semi-circular fanlight, and a door with six moulded panels.

Local climate

The Priory receives an average of 820 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 51% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 87% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 14 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 87% of listed buildings. Of these, 6 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.
