Bull inn
Hendford
There are only a few references for this mid 17th century early to 18th century alehouse.
The first reference is in the 1667 will of parchment maker Mathew Wills, in which he wrote "I give and bequeath unto my said wife my house called the Bull in Yeovell aforesaid".
It was later run by Robert Cary in Hendford, as shown by the final two references in 'Licensees'.
The last reference comes from St John's parish register with the entry "25 February 1702 - Anne a strang[e] Child born at ye Bull".
The exact location of the Bull Inn within Hendford is unknown.
