Medieval secular college at Parsonage Farm is a fourteenth-century ecclesiastical foundation located in Somerset. The college was established as a secular institution, distinct from monastic communities, and represents an important form of religious organisation in later medieval England. Physical remains of the site survive as earthworks and structural evidence, though much of the original fabric has been subject to post-medieval alteration and use. The monument contributes to understanding the distribution and character of collegiate establishments in the West Country during the medieval period.
