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:
During the Second World War tanks were parked at Weymouth Street, Warminster. The first of these belonged to the Guards Armoured Division. One of their tanks rolled into the front of the Bunch of Grapes, causing a fair amount of damage. Fortunately, no one was injured. Repair work to the property was carried out by F. Curtis & Son of Portway, Warminster.
