Church House And Pound Adjoining To North West

Church House and the adjoining pound were built around 1515 and restored in 1908. The structure is made of red sandstone random rubble with stone dressings and features a slate roof with coped verges and a stone stack on the right. It has two storeys and four bays, with all windows being two-light, hollow chamfered, and featuring stone mullions with leaded panes. A coved string course runs along the building. On the ground floor, there are three windows to the right and one to the left of a pair of four-centred arch doorways, which have moulded architraves and early 20th-century plank doors with decorative hinges. An external stone stair on the left side provides access to the first floor.

Inside, there is a fine seven-bay arch-braced collar purlin roof supported by three tiers of curved wind braces. The right return features a red sandstone rubble wall about two meters high, topped with 'hit and miss' coping, which encloses the pound and has a depressed arch entrance with rusticated voussoirs. A 20th-century wooden gate is set on the east side. The wall returns to Church House, which is a Scheduled Ancient Monument (Somerset County No.27).
