The church house at Abbotskerswell is a two storey building
about 165 yards east of the church. It has been thoroughly and
well restored and is still a building of some attraction. The
lower storey was for men, the upper for women, as it appears
later to have been a poor-house. It has oak-framed windows with
four-centred lights; external stairs; round-headed oak
doorways; and rectangular projections. (2-3)
Old Church House, possibly 16th century, restored circa 1922

Church House, mid 16th c., restored 1913-14. Limestone rubble walls
