The Tribunal is a timber-framed building of fifteenth-century date located in Chardstock, Somerset. The structure exemplifies the domestic architecture of the late medieval period, with its characteristic half-timbered construction and jetted upper storey indicative of prosperous merchant or gentry housing. The building's name reflects its later use, though its original function was residential. It survives as an important example of vernacular building practice in the South West of England during the fifteenth century.
