Manor Farmhouse, Meare

Along with its outbuildings the farmhouse has been designated as a Grade I listed building.

A chapel and cellar were included for the monks by Adam of Sodbury who was the abbot from 1323 to 1334.

Richard Beere added further rooms in the early 16th century.

[2] A stone figure in robes and mitre appears above the porch which is believed to represent Abbot Richard Whiting,[1] who presided over Glastonbury at the time of the Dissolution of the Monasteries under King Henry VIII of England, and was imprisoned in the Tower of London and executed on Glastonbury Tor in 1539.

He is considered a martyr by the Roman Catholic Church, which beatified him on 13 May 1895.
