Adrian Phillips, in the book The Warminster Trail, published by Aris & Phillips Ltd. for the Warminster Festival in 1989, noted:
Church Street, Warminster . . . . . On the south side of the street is the yard of Culverhouse, a well-known firm of local builders. The deeds show that this site was used by a clothier in 1603. In common with many buildings in Warminster it was a malthouse in the 19th century when it belonged to a Robert Butcher (1853) and was unusual in having its steep and furnace adjacent. The house next to it, Northdown, now part of Warminster School, was the maltster’s house.
