Court House

The Court House is a house located in Lower Muchelney, built in the early 18th century, with modifications made in 1874 and 1918. It is constructed from local lias stone that has been cut and squared, with Ham stone dressings, and features a plain clay tiled roof between coped gables. The building has a double roof plan and is two stories tall with attics, presenting a three-bay west elevation.

The exterior includes buttresses between the bays that have gabled tops and offsets, along with an eaves course. The windows are hollow chamfer mullioned types set in wave mould recesses, with four-light windows in the outer lower bays, each with separate labels, and three-light windows above without labels. The pitched roof gabled dormers contain three-light leaded casements for each bay. The lower bay features a cambered arched doorway with a slit window to the left and a two-light window without a label to the right, all topped by a string course that spans between the buttresses. To the left of the first bay is a single-light window, and all windows have rectangular leaded panes.

The southwest gable includes a single-light window and a double-light window, the latter showcasing 15th-century tracery. The southeast gable is part of the 1874 addition and incorporates several features from Muchelney Abbey, including a panel and cambered arched doorway, as well as more 15th-century windows, including a four-light mullioned window in the east return with quatrefoil panels beneath.

Inside, there are some modified cambered arched doorways, a pointed Gothick plaster vault in the hall, and a notable 19th-century fireplace in the east room. The northeast section was added by builder Ralph Fry in 1918. The house served as a vicarage during the 19th century.
