Description

The granary is a late 18th-century building that has undergone some alterations in the 20th century. It is constructed with a timber frame, and the original weatherboarding has likely been replaced with corrugated sheeting, which is now under a pitched, corrugated sheet roof.

The granary has a rectangular plan and is a single-storey structure with a loft above, raised on staddle stones. Replacement steps lead up to a central plank door located on the north side.

Inside, the lower part of the inner walls is boarded and features vertical slots for dividing boards, with some diagonal bracing above. The upper floor is also boarded, and the two-bay roof includes a single chamfered truss with a tie beam and yoked collar, while the flanking timbers are hipped.

Local climate

Granary receives an average of 830 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 53% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 58% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 35 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 59% 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.
