R. Butcher & Son, 1989
Adrian Phillips, in the book The Warminster Trail, compiled for the Warminster Festival 1989, and published by Aris & Phillips Ltd., wrote:
On the north side [of George Street], Nos.39/40 are the premises of R. Butcher & Son.
This business, with Corden’s and Coates & Parker, is one of the three, still in existence, about to celebrate their second centenary.
A timber frame building existed on the site in about 1600.
In 1800 the back area was a stone yard and in about 1815 the two houses were extended forwards into George Street, with an ashlar façade.
The rear became a timber mill in about 1880 and was still used as such in 1910, when Robert Butcher moved in.
All the original buildings in the yard have been replaced except for a malthouse which is used as a store.
