These are the places that are, or were, in Wells and the surrounding villages.

I have gathered this information from census records, "Somerset & Dorset Notes & queries", trade directories (Kelly's and Slater's), adverts in old newspapers, tourist guides and of course the memories of local people. Thanks to everyone who has helped so far.

There is still so much to find out. If you have any information then please email me

Please also email me if you remember any of the pubs that have now closed. I would love to get some "memories" onto this page

Thankyou

Mrs. Mary Ham, former manageress of this mediaeval pub, told the ‘Wells Journal’ in 1978 that she had seen the ghost of a Cavalier. Later the new owners, Philip and Ann Hanson, found that the phantom was a bit too disturbing for their young son. When the BBC went to film the ghost, rumour has it that the lighting equipment failed, or even exploded (depending what you are reading or talk to)

1912 Thomas Henry Price (who had been innkeeper next door at The Royal Oak) was the manager and remained here until he retired in 1954.    

The Chapmans owned The Crown post war and in January 1993 The Crown was boarded up and in receivership. Adrian Lawrence (licensee at The Fountain Inn) thought this a great shame. The hotel was purchased from the receiver and Adrian set about trying to improve its fortunes. Adrian and his wife Sarah have owned and run The Crown ever since.

From 1830 to 1908 this was The Royal Oak. The building was then split so part became the "tap" for The Crown Hotel. It is the site where William Penn preached from an upper story window to a crowd below in 1695. It may have been The Royal Oak at this time as well.
