The Priest's House is a National Trust-owned property in Muchelney, Somerset, England.
It was built by Muchelney Abbey in 1308 for the parish priest and incorporates a Gothic doorway, tracery windows and a 15th-century fireplace. 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, and in late 19th century it was rented by a farmer. The building was acquired by the British National Trust in 1911. It has been designated by English Heritage as a grade II listed building.[1]
