Church houses, established in the late Middle Ages, are known to have been a feature of the majority of Somerset parishes. A number of them survive, altered to a greater or lesser extent. They can be identified by their site close to the church, their late-medieval structure and their plan: one long undivided room on the first floor, open to the roof, and with independent access from outside; the ground-floor rooms heated by a large fireplace, or possibly a smoke-bay, usually at the gable end, used for baking and brewing. A number of former church houses have been identified and are discussed below
