In 1893 some repairs were made to the walls, although the roof was not replaced until work was undertaken by the Ministry of Works in the 1920s, with further conservation being carried out in the 1960s. It suffered a fire in the 1880s, which destroyed the roof and gutted the interior. Meare Pool was drained after the Dissolution of the Monasteries and the fish house fell into disrepair. Some alterations were made, probably in the 15th century. The upper floor was the abode of the chief fisherman when he visited intermittently and the ground floor was used for storing nets and the salting and preparing fish. It may have replaced a previous abbey building. The current fish house was built between 13 when Adam of Sodbury was the Abbot of Glastonbury who also built the Church of St Mary in the village and the Manor House as his summer residence. Meare Pool had disappeared from maps by 1749. Drainage of the surrounding area by monks of Glastonbury Abbey had reduced the size of the lake to 500 acres (200 ha) at the time of the Dissolution of the Monasteries.
The Abbey required fish on Fridays, fast days and during Lent.

The importance of this industry is illustrated by a series of acrimonious disputes between Glastonbury and the Dean and Chapter of Wells Cathedral.
The eastern extent is harder to determine, and it may have gone as far as the site of the Glastonbury Lake Village. The pond would have extended no further west than the current Westhay to Wedmore road, where a shelf of rock formed a natural boundary. The south end was bordered by the high ground that the village of Meare is built upon. Its precise boundaries varied according to season, and, over the longer term, as efforts were made to drain the area. Early drainage work was carried out in the later years of the 12th century, with the responsibility for maintaining all the watercourses between Glastonbury and the sea being placed on named individuals among whom were Ralph de Sancta Barbara of Brentmarsh.
Meare Pool was formed by water ponding-up behind the raised peat bogs between the Wedmore and the Polden Hills, and coring has shown that it is filled with at least 2 metres (6.6 ft) of detritus mud, especially in the Subatlantic climatic period (1st millennium BC). Pike, Bream and "white fish" were also caught. At one point 5,000 eels were caught each year. These were connected to the Meare Pool and the River Brue. The fishponds, which were connected with drains and gullies were up to 30 metres (98 ft) long and 5 metres (16 ft) wide. This will lead you to a screen to where you can choose to either exit or resume the game.The fish ponds surrounding the Fish House were recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 when they were tended by ten fishermen. To exit a game, select the pause button in the top right hand of the screen during game play. The winner is determined based on survivability from three out of five potential weather perils. Whatever is left will be judged on flair and survivability. When complete, the game will unleash Mother Nature’s wrath. Track successes and dominate the Master Builder Board with your best scores. Finally, when done building, push the ‘finished’ button to see if your house measures up. Next, from walls to windows, and landscape to man-cave, pick the features that will make your house not just a home, but a sweet fortress. Practice rounds do not affect a player’s overall rank on the Master Builder Board, but challenges against known and random opponents do.įirst, start by picking the location of your dream house, just remember that whatever region chosen to build in comes with its own potential for weather havoc. There are three modes of play in the game: practice, challenge a friend, or find a random opponent. Players have three minutes and $100,000 to build a house that strikes a balance between stylish and disaster resilient. Users may log in with an email address or Facebook account and move through a series of instruction screens, including one to create a game.
