The White Hart Hotel, East Street, was built in the 18th century, and greatly altered or, possibly, rebuilt in the early 19th century. Constructed of Ham stone ashlar under a Welsh slate roof. The hotel was first mentioned by name in 1736. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1226343 Martock is a large village in Somerset, situated on the edge of the Somerset Levels, about 6¼ miles northwest of Yeovil and some 15 miles southeast of Taunton. Martock was known in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Mertoch meaning 'Rising bright from the shining sea' from the Old English 'meretorht'. The village is a former market town and is home to the Treasurers House, one of the oldest domestic dwellings in England, and an outstanding 13th century church with a magnificent carved king-post truss roof.
