Applegates of Trowbridge purchased this Warminster business
from W.P.T. Wyld during March 1905.
In 1919, the owners of the building, the Longleat Estate,
put the property up for sale (it was still let on a yearly tenancy
to Applegates) and in 1929 Mr. J. Ethell took it over.
The premises became the Bunch of Grapes public house.
The Bunch Of Grapes at Weymouth Street, Warminster, was included among the properties sold by the Longleat Estate in September 1919 (about 100 houses, cottages, shops, pubs, farms and smallholdings – described at the time as the largest property sale ever held in Warminster).
The sale catalogue described it as follows:
Lot 36. The Bunch of Grapes. A Six Days’ Licensed House in Weymouth Street, Warminster, containing, on Ground Floor, Bar, 21ft. x 17ft. 9 in. (fittings claimed by tenant); Smoke Room with servery to Bar, 13ft. 10in. x 13ft. At the rear is an annexe used as a Smoke Room, 23ft. 6in. x 9ft., also a lavatory. On the First Floor, Room 22ft. 6in. x 20ft., and one Bedroom. On Second Floor, 3 Bedrooms and large board. In Basement, Kitchen, w.c., and good Cellar. There is a small back yard.

The sale of the properties was spread over two days, Friday 5th September and Saturday 6th September 1919, at the Town Hall, Warminster. The auctioneer was David Waddington of Messrs. D. and D.H. Waddington, and Messrs. Ponting & Marshall were the solicitors for the vendor, the Marquess of Bath, K.G.
The Bunch of Grapes was put up for auction on the first day of the auction sale. It failed to reach its reserve price and was withdrawn, but was sold afterwards for £1,500 to the Lamb Brewery Co., of Frome.
Wotton Lodge, 5 Weymouth Street, Warminster, was included among the properties sold by the Longleat Estate in September 1919 (about 100 houses, cottages, shops, pubs, farms and smallholdings – described at the time as the largest property sale ever held in Warminster).

From The Wiltshire Times, Saturday 18th June 1910:
Warminster. An Illegal Practice.
At a meeting of the Urban District Council on Monday night the Market Management Committee reported that the Clerk had given his opinion on the question of the right to toll cattle and dead stock offered for sale in Weymouth Street, and his opinion was that the Council had no such right nor had the public any right to exhibit there at all.
