Blackmoor Farmhouse, Cannington

Blackmoor Farmhouse at Cannington, Somerset, England and the attached chapel, was built around 1480 for Sir Thomas Tremayll.

[2][3] The farmhouse was originally built for Sir Thomas Tremayll as a manor house, with integrated chapel, in approximately 1480.

[1] The front of the building has a number of bays ending in the chapel wing to the north, which includes tall lancet arch windows as well as an ogee-headed moulded stone door frame.

On the south side of the house there is a garderobe, also two storeys high, with a turret to the rear.

[1] The building has many architectural features of its period with the roof structure comprising a series of jointed crucks together with some curved wind-braces still in place.

There are coffered ceilings and a plank and muntin screen with soot blackening to one side now in one of the upstairs rooms (possibly re-sited from being a screens passage at the entrance to the main hall where one would expect to see this type of structure).

The Tithe records of 1839 show that the owner of Blackmore Farm was Charles John Kemeys-Tynte (1778-1860).
