Description
The Guildhall, now two dwellings, likely dates to the 15th century. It is constructed from roughly cut and squared local stone, with dressings in Ham stone, and has a thatched roof, hipped to the east and coped to the west, with brick chimney stacks. The building is two storeys high and has three bays. The easternmost bay has different floor levels. A doorway between bays two and three features moulded jambs and an arch, with a square label containing diamond stops and shields in the spandrils. Bay one has a two-light timber casement window on the upper floor, while the other windows are three-light hollow-chamfered mullioned windows with labels and inset wood casements. A thatched porch has been added to the west gable, with a plain doorway on the east side. Stoford was a borough with a market in the 12th and 13th centuries, including a courthouse, but declined by 1633 due to the diversion of the Exeter road to Yeovil.
