Church House

Church House is a building that was formerly associated with the church and has now been converted into two houses. It dates from the early 16th century, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The structure is made of dressed stone laid in courses and features a slate roof with gabled ends and brick chimneys at each gable end, as well as an additional brick chimney on the ridge, with granite dressings.

Originally, the building may have had a single-depth plan consisting of two rooms and a through passage, with the principal room located to the left of the passage and a service room to the right. It is two storeys high with a three-window front. The ground floor openings feature unmoulded granite lintels of varying lengths at different levels. The left-hand house has a 19th-century front door with a rectangular fanlight, while the right-hand house has a 20th-century double front door. The ground floor window on the left is an early 20th-century three-light casement with four panes per light, and the middle and right ground floor windows are also early 20th-century three-light casements.

Inside, three heavily-moulded cross beams remain, adorned with foliage carvings. The cross beam in the right-hand house, located to the left of the passage, has had some of its carving removed. There is a foliage-carved bressumer on the ground floor of the left-hand house's front wall, and the ground floor fireplaces are partially blocked. The right-hand house features a massive chamfered cross beam with wide run-out stops. Access to the roof of the left-hand house is not available, but the trusses over the right-hand house have massive unchamfered principals with two tiers of threaded purlins, and the curved feet of some principals are visible in the upstairs rooms.

A grant dated 1520 by William Devell, Abbot of the Monastery of Cliff in Somerset, mentions the Yeld house. In 1601, a significant restoration occurred after part of the building collapsed. There are references to brewing and baking processes associated with Church House.
