Description

Wyndham Museum, originally a stable block for Hendford Manor House, is an 18th-century building that now serves as the Yeovil Museum. It is constructed of early to mid-brick with Ham stone dressings and features a plain clay tile hipped roof. The building has a rectangular plan with a slight projection on the south flank and is two stories tall.

The main entrance is located on the narrow west elevation, which has three bays and a deep stone plinth with an approach stairway. The central entrance consists of a pair of three-panel doors framed by a simple stone surround that supports a cornice. On either side at ground floor level, there are narrow pairs of eight-pane sash windows set in raised surrounds with plain central mullions. Above the entrance door is a Venetian window, flanked by two circular windows that have five radial glazing bars, although the left-hand side is false.

The south side elevation has five bays, with the center three being wider but otherwise mirroring the west elevation, although the doors have been replaced with 16-pane sash windows. The outer bays project slightly and feature high semi-circular arched openings that are now glazed in, with no windows above. A moulded stone gutter runs around the entire building, while the other two elevations have been significantly altered. The interior was not inspected, but an old water pump remains mounted on the south wall.
