Description

St Leonard's Hospice is a possibly late 18th-century disused building. It is a small rectangular structure made of stone rubble with a slate roof. The long sides feature four pointed arched windows arranged in two rows, although the glazing has been destroyed. The south gable end includes two windows in each row and a smaller window at the peak of the gable, along with a brick chimney added to the gable end. The north gable end has a door accessed by a flight of stone steps, a stable door below it, and another brick chimney that has been added.

It experiences an average of 33 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 56% 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.
