Listed Building record MDO5860 - St Margaret's, 1 St Margaret's Hill, Pamphill

House which appears to be sixteenth century, but may have been the priest's house and be contemporary with the chapel. The north wall is of ironstone, and the south wall of buttressed brick. The roof is tiled with a brick chimney stack.

'Monuments (41-44) … St. Margaret's Hospital, a group of single-storeyed almshouses, stands close to the Chapel of St. Margaret (1) and probably occupies the site of a mediaeval leper hospital (Hutchins III, 247). Unless otherwise described the cottage walls are of cob and the roofs are thatched. (41) Cottage (00400036), adjoining (1) on the W., has walls of rubble, brick and timber framework, and a tiled roof with stone-slate verges; it is if 16th-century origin, but has been much altered. (Plan, p. 45).'
