Former Village Reading Room

The former village reading room, which was once a dovecot, is now used as a store. It dates from around 1300 and was originally attached to the Carthusian Priory. The building was significantly remodeled and restored by Gill in 1900 for the Duke of Somerset. It is constructed from local limestone rubble with squared quoins and diagonal two-stage buttresses. The roof is covered with plain tiles and features a bellcast and parapets, along with a brick stack on the left side.

The facade is rectangular and designed in a Tudoresque style, standing three windows high. The interior is currently unfloored and consists of one bay. There is a five-light chamfered stone mullion window on the first floor, with a small square attic light above it. The central door opening has a chamfered segmental-headed stone surround and a plank door with strap hinges that display an Art Nouveau motif. Additionally, there is a tall two-light mullion and transom window on the left return. To the right side, there is a single-storey pent-roofed outshut. Inside, the building retains traces of pigeon holes and a fireplace from the restoration, which is a copy of the fireplace at the Charterhouse of Mount Grace in Yorkshire.
