Pitminster: The Queen’s Arms This is one of the earliest recorded mill sites in Somerset. A mill was extant here in 1036 when owned by St Swithun’s Priory, Winchester. A flour mill in 1804, the premises were later converted to a public house. The section nearest the camera looks more like a mill than a pub.
