Description

The Golden Fleece is a two-storey, double-fronted public house built from large, roughly coursed and squared blocks of quarried stone. It features large slate-stone lintels, a slate roof with projecting eaves, small skylights, and stone stacks at the ends. The openings have raised cement surrounds, and the central entrance includes a fielded-panel door. The windows have been replaced in their original openings. At the back, there is an added two-storey rear wing.

Inside, the building retains its original two-unit plan, with chamfered joists. The fireplaces have been infilled. Behind the left-hand room, there is a vaulted beer cellar that was used to serve beer through a hatch.

Local climate

The Golden Fleece sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,490 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 98% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 97% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 60% 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.
