Blackmore Farm

Built in the fifteenth century by Sir Thomas Tremayll, Blackmore is a fine example of a Tudor manor house and retains many of its period features. Set in rolling farmland with views of the Quantock Hills, the house contains many pieces of very fine seventeenth-century furniture and a collection of arms and armour.

Also of interest are many unusual artefacts which have been collected by the owners, dating back to the twelfth century. The Manor Estate is listed in the Domesday Book.

On arrival you step into the great hall through the original fifteenth-century oak door, where there is a 20-foot oak refectory table and walls lined with arms and armour.

On the ground floor you can also view the old kitchen with its fireplace, iron spits and cooking utensils, then visit the private chapel that is still in use. The main staircase takes you up to the west bedroom with its extremely fine oak cruck roof, and the gallery bedroom with oak panelling and stairs leading to the original servants’ quarters.

The tour will be led by the owner, Ian Dyer, and will include the great hall, chapel, old kitchen and ancillary rooms, as well as upstairs into the solar, west bedroom and gallery. Ian will give a detailed history of the house and its contents.
