Description
The Irongray Manse is a late 18th-century manse, built in 1797 to designs by John MacCracken of Dumfries. It is a two-storey building with a sunken basement and attic, arranged with a three-bay front. The manse is constructed of rubble stone with ashlar margins, all painted. The east elevation features steps leading to a central panelled front door, which is topped with a decorative fanlight. The ground floor has tripartite windows, while the first floor has four-pane sash windows. There are two flat-roofed dormers with shaped skews. The building has corniced end stacks. Attached to the rear wing are two parallel, single-storey ranges; one with lofts and a segmental-arched cartway. All roofs are covered with graded slates. The property is approached via square gatepiers with flat pyramidal caps, set within curved quadrant walls constructed of ashlar.
Local climate
Irongray Manse sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,240 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 93% 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 48 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 89% of listed buildings. Of these, 25 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.
