History
A house at East Tytherton was bought by preacher John Cennick in 1742 and a Moravian community was founded in 1745; a chapel, manse and church cottage were built for the community. The manse and chapel were rebuilt between 1792 and 1793 and a schoolroom was added in 1793-1794. The chapel, manse and former schoolroom are red brick buildings with ashlar dressings and stone slate roofs, and are Grade II* listed. The chapel is a single storey structure with a pair of two-storey houses attached at either end. The manse has a timber bell-cot at the east end. As of 2016, the church is still in use.
The Moravian school was built to house fifty pupils and at one time actually had seventy. The school closed in 1931. Nearby, a British school opened in 1871 and became a County school in the 20th century, later named Maud Heath School. Pupil numbers declined from the 1950s and the school closed at the end of 2005. In 2016 the building was an activity centre for Girl Guides.
