Description

The Crooked Window, located at No 7 on Dunster High Street, is probably an 18th-century building that has undergone later alterations. It features a pantile roof and is rendered with mock half-timbering on the first floor. The building has two storeys and includes two sash windows with glazing bars and exposed frames. On the ground floor, there are two fixed-light square bays with a small panelled half-glazed door situated between them, along with a plain recessed door to the right. A slated pent roof covers the doors and bays.

Local climate

The Crooked Window sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,130 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 88% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 95% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 10 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 90% of listed buildings. Of these, 5 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.
