Somerton United Reform Church, Schoolrooms, And Front Boundary Railings

Somerton United Reform Church and Schoolrooms were built in 1807 and enlarged three times in the 19th century. The building is made of local lias stone that is cut and squared, with Ham stone dressings, and features Bridgwater patent clay tiles behind coped gables. It is mostly two-storey along the road frontage and has a five-bay facade.

The first bay is a flat-roofed projection, while bays two to four form the gable end of the church, and bay five is the gable end of the schoolroom. Bay one includes a plinth, cornice, and shallow parapet, with double trefoil arched windows on both levels and single matching windows on the return. Bays two to four feature a plinth and a string course between floors, with ogee two-light flat-headed windows that have square labels with headstops, and cusped lancets above in bays two and four. Bay three has a 13th-century style doorway with dog tooth moulding under a label, and above it, there is a three-light 14th-century style traceried window under a pointed arched label. The coping includes flats and pinnacles on the kneelers, and there is an oval plaque set into the gable that reads "1807 Congregational".

Bay five has a triple plain lancet window above an 1875 foundation stone, with a pointed relieving arch and a small rectangular gable vent above it. To the right, there is a doorway under a stone panel that proclaims "Lecture Hall". The interior has not been seen. Attached to bay one, approximately two metres from the rest of the front elevation, are cast iron boundary railings about 1.3 metres high on a low stone wall, featuring cast spear points and two sets of matching gates.
