Description
The Golden Sheaf is a three-storey, three-window retail building dating from the mid to late 19th century. It features colourwashed plaster on a rubble base, with channelled end pilasters and a moderately pitched slate roof. The eaves band is adorned with consoles grouped around four flanking windows. The building has rendered brick stacks and Victorian sash windows on the second floor, which are framed by lugged architraves and have bracketed sills.
On the ground floor, there is a well-preserved later 19th-century shopfront on the right side. This includes a canted recessed central doorway with a rectangular fanlight above, original double doors, and arches with glazed upper panels. A blind box with a moulded cornice rises to a round arch at the centre, which features a carved wheat sheaf motif.
To the left, there is an arched carriage entry. Inside, cast iron columns support the window areas.
Local climate
The Golden Sheaf sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,170 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 90% 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 13 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 88% 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.
