Reg Cundick and Danny Howell in the book The Inns And Taverns Of Warminster, published in November 1987, stated:
The Plough, Warminster
The Plough was a beerhouse on the south side of George Street, east of the Were Walk. In the 1838 Survey of Warminster it is recorded as Plot No.828, with the landlord James Bristow. He was still there in 1844 but was unheard of after the late 1850s.
The Plough only had a beerhouse licence, which prohibited the sale of spirits. A beerhouse licence, issued under the rules of the Beerhouse Act of 1830, cost £2 per annum and allowed a householder assessed at the poor rate to retail beer from his own house.
