From Wyld And Warburton To Applegates

Reg Cundick and Danny Howell, writing about The Bunch Of Grapes public house, in the book The Inns & Taverns Of Warminster, published in November 1987, stated:

The Bunch of Grapes [at Weymouth Street, Warminster] started life as an off-licence, accommodating wine and spirit merchants with the names Wyld and Warburton in 1879. W.P.T. Wyld was the sole-proprietor in 1895; he eventually sold the business to Applegates in Trowbridge in 1905 (Warminster & Westbury Journal, 25th March 1905). It continued as an off-licence but also sold beer. Large cellars, still accessible beneath the property today, were once used for the storage of wine.
