Former church house, Chagford

A building which seems to have been through many identities. Listed as British Legion Hall, the entry at http://list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1308676&searchtype=mapsearch reads "The Guild House of St Catherine was founded here in 1200. This building looks as though it was built as a church house. According to the Charity Commissioners report of 1876 the ground floor was then used as a poor house and the first floor was a school". See also Image http://www.flickr.com/photos/michael_jecks/495251643/ has it as the "old town hall".
