Muchelney Abbey is an English Heritage property in the village of Muchelney in the Somerset Levels, England. The site consists of ruined walls showing the layout of the abbey buildings constructed from the 7th to 16th and the remaining intact Abbott's House. It is next to the parish church in which some of the fabric of the abbey has been reused. It comprises the remains and foundations of a medieval Benedictine abbey, the site of an earlier Anglo-Saxon abbey, and an early Tudor house dating from the 16th century, formerly the lodgings of the resident Abbot, which is now a Grade I listed building. The ruins of the abbey have been scheduled as an ancient monument. The abbey was founded in the 7th or 8th century, damaged by Viking raids and rebuilt and refounded in the 10th century. It owned and managed local land. The buildings were expanded from the 12th to 16th centuries until its dissolution in 1538. Most of the buildings were demolished and the stone used in local buildings, although the Abbot's House and reredorter survive. Some of the tiles and other decorative features from the monastic church were reused in the adjacent parish Church of St Peter and St Paul. Since 1927 the ruins have been in public ownership.

History & Haunting of :
The Priest's House ,Muchelney ,Somerset, England ,U.K
This medieval hall-house was built in 1308 for the parish priest of the church opposite, and has been little altered since the early 17th century. Interesting features include the Gothic doorway, magnificent double-height tracery windows and a massive 15th-century stone fireplace. It is a National Trust-owned property, It has been designated as a grade II listed building.
A ghostly monk was seen on a regular basis by a former tenant ,and the tenant would hear doors banging in the dead of night ,whether this had anything to do with the death of a nun in the past no one knows .........
The legend go's that a nun and priest fell in love and were secretly married ,the nun had a secret room known only to her husband .....one day he was called away unexpectedly ,only to return to find his wife dead in the secret room .
Since that time strange happenings have occurred on a regular basis
The Priest's House was built by the nearby Muchelney Abbey around 1308 for the parish priest. The viacarage was valued at £10 per annum in 1535. The building was said to be ruinous in 1608. It was used by the vicar or curate until around 1840, when the house was used as a cellar and later as a school.
In the late 19th century it was rented by a farmer. Because of its poor condition it was recommended for demolition in both 1896 and 1901. The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings organised a public appeal to raise money for repairs to which Jane Morris, Thomas Hardy and George Bernard Shaw contributed. As the funding for the restoration was no longer an issue the building was acquired by the National Trust who employed Ernest Barnsley of the Barnsley brothers, the Arts and Crafts movement master builders, to design and the work. It was carried out by Norman Jewson and William Weir. The work left in place and strengthened earlier structures where possible but added new aspects including a stone buttress and a kitchen range.
The original hall went from floor to roof, however in the 16th century a ceiling was added dividing it into two floors. This also involved changes to the original windows
The National Trust rent it to a tenant who provides limited access to the public.

Snowshill Manor National Trust 03.09.11
Snowshill Manor is a National Trust property located in the village of Snowshill, Gloucestershire, United Kingdom. It is a sixteenth century country house, best known for its twentieth century owner, Charles Paget Wade, an eccentric man who amassed an enormous collection of objects that interested him. He gave the property to the National Trust in 1951, and his collection is still housed there. It is a typical Cotswold manor house, made from local stone; the main part of the house dates from the 16th century. It is a Grade II* listed building, having been so designated since 4 July 1960. Also listed are the brewhouse, the dovecote, some of the garden buildings, the wall and gate-piers, and the group of four Manor Cottages.Snowshill Manor was the property of Winchcombe Abbey from 821 until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1539 when the Abbey was confiscated by King Henry VIII, who presented it to his last queen, Catherine Parr. Between 1539 and 1919 it had a number of tenants and owners until it was purchased by Charles Paget Wade, an architect, artist-craftsman, collector, poet and heir to the family fortune. He restored the property, living in the small cottage in the garden and using the manor house as a home for his collection of objects. By the time of his death he had amassed over 22,000 objects. He gave the property and the contents of this collection to the National Trust in 1951.
Cycle ride to Muchelney Abbey, South Somerset, August 2017
Cycling from Hinton St George (east of Ilminster) to Muchelney Abbey (via Martock), South Somerset, August 2017. Wherever possible on quiet lanes, minor roads and national cycle routes. Unfortunately this is the only footage I have of 5 days’ cycling in East Devon / West Dorset / South Somerset due to LOTS of RAIN on the other days plus a faulty GoPro SD card.
MAPS: OS Landranger #193 (Taunton & Lyme Regis)
Be sure to check out my other bike ride videos and the other (mainly Yorkshire) cycle ride segments - ideal for use at the gym on an exercise bike, treadmill, cross trainer, etc! Most are in Yorkshire, but some are in Somerset and Derbyshire. Best to turn the sound off - just wind, etc, no music, sorry.

Heavy rain, large waves and strong winds are expected to create a significant risk to life, as parts of Britain are hit by another band of severe weather.
A high risk warning was issued for Gloucestershire, where the Environment Agency said extraordinary measures may be taken on Saturday to keep back tidal and river floods.
A spring tide and stormy seas whipped up by gusts of more than 60mph pose a threat to communities on Atlantic coasts, with severe flood warnings - issued only when there is a danger to life - in force along the coasts of Cornwall and north Devon.
