The Rectory

The Rectory, now a house, likely originated in the early 15th century, with significant alterations and a major addition dating to around 1830. The building is constructed of roughly coursed local stone, with dressings in Ham stone around the mullioned windows. Welsh slate roofs cover the structure, with coped gables to the older northern wing and a hipped roof with wide eaves soffites to the 19th-century wing. Brick chimney stacks are present. The building follows an "T"-shaped plan, with the original north wing set at a right angle to the later addition.

The north elevation exhibits a random pattern of six window bays. Bay one features a plain chamfered mullioned window without glazing above. Bay two has a modern casement window below and a three-light ovolo moulded mullioned casement window with leaded lights and a wrought iron casement window stay above. Bay three contains a 20th-century glazed door with a 19th-century casement window above. Bay four has an old wooden casement window below and an early casement window with leaded lights above. Bay five features old casement windows with leaded lights, and bay six has matching old casement windows with leaded lights at both ground and first floor levels.

The east gable, facing the road, contains a hollow chamfered mullioned window, now blocked and with a dripstone, along with later mullioned windows. In the southeast corner are traces of a stone door arch or relieving arch, and a blocked pointed arch doorway is present on the small south return wall.

The 19th-century wing, extending southwards, is two stories high with five bays. This wing features a central six-panel door with a fanlight above, and 12-pane sash windows set in plain openings with flat, voussoired heads.

The interior reportedly contains four cusped-arch braced cruck trusses with king-strut braces in the roof of the north wing. These are unusual for Somerset and are believed to date back to around 1400. Rooms have been re-arranged, making the original plan form uncertain. The older wing may originally have been part of the Grange belonging to Muchelney Abbey, while the south wing was likely added by Revd. Henry Law, Rector of the parish from 1824 to 1836. The Rectory forms an important group with the nearby 15th-century Barn and Dovecote.
