Description
Yr Ysgol is a small former schoolhouse that was once lofted. It is constructed from roughly coursed, mortared rubble masonry, featuring large stones used as quoins and lintels. The roof is covered with small old slates and has a small chimney stack at the eastern gable, complete with dripstones and capping. The main elevation now faces south and includes a single doorway on the left, with a 2-paned light to the right. The western gable, which faces the road, has a blocked doorway on the left (north) that features a datestone above it, displaying the initials L W and the date 1757. To the right of this doorway is a blocked window, and there is a small window located in the gable apex.
Inside, the building retains its original pegged central truss, which has a chamfered cross beam and paired purlins, along with a stone slab floor.
Local climate
Yr Ysgol 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.
