Mells Village Hall in Mells, Somerset, England was built in the 14th century as a tithe barn and now serves as the village hall. It is a Grade II* listed building.[1]

History

[edit | edit source]

The hall was built as a tithe barn, belonging to Glastonbury Abbey, in the 14th century.[2] A new roof was constructed and the building revised around 1500. A new ceiling was installed in the 20th century.[1]

The hall is used as a village hall run by a charitable committee, following a lease and trust deed signed in 1964.[3] Toilets and a kitchen have been installed which were refurbished in 2012.[4]

Architecture

[edit | edit source]

The six-bay stone building has a tiled cruck roof.[5] Buttresses are used to support the walls.[1]
