Reg Cundick and Danny Howell, writing about The Masons Arms public house, at Pound Row, Warminster, in the book The Inns & Taverns Of Warminster, published in November 1987, stated:
The 1801 Survey Of Warminster refers to Plot No.117 as the “late Masons Arms” in the occupation of John Pearce (a mason). The site is identified in the middle of a small row of cottages situated halfway along Pound Row, between Pound Street and West Street. Neither Halliday or Daniell made any reference to this former inn or alehouse.
