Issue 367 of The Wiltshire Monthly Intelligencer, for November 2012, edited by Michael Marshman, includes a brief report of Warminster Library’s 30th anniversary celebrations, recently held, including a summary of Michael’s talk, held at the Library, in which he discussed pub names.
Michael wrote: “Some of the names were very rare and two may be unique to Warminster [including the Search Hoop at High Street]. The Search Hoop, as I was informed from the floor, was a sieve and would have hung outside. I should have checked the Oxford English Dictionary beforehand, and so had a look later. A searce was first recorded in 1330, being a sieve or strainer. That will teach me to prepare a little better in future.”
