Dist:0.5km<br/>One of several good Georgian houses in the village. This front is early C19th, added to a higher front of the 1760s, the roof of which can be seen behind. Grade II* listed. The listing records that, "Ambrose Awdry II bought the site in 1695 and built a 'mansion house' before 1701. Ambrose Awdry IV inherited 1761, rebuilt it 1767 and was outlawed for debt 1783. Ambrose Awdry V regained the house in 1812 and the north front may have been added by him."

Dist:0.6km<br/>The Reverend T Jones thought that Seend should be regarded as the 'mother' church of various Wesleyan Societies throughout the locality and in 1757 the membership at Seend numbered 42. Services were held in the village or sometimes at Inmarsh. In 1774 land was leased to David Flower (of Seend Park Farm), local farmer and first trustee, who built the chapel in the High Street which was opened by John Wesley on 4th march 1775. The windows were designed in the 13th century grouped lancet style. There is an 18th century hood over the door and the plaque above the door (commemorating John Wesley's preaching in Seend) was engraved in 1929.
