Huntsman Inn
Location unknown
The Huntsman Inn was a Yeovil beerhouse, set up in the wake of the Beerhouse Act 1830.
Its location was unknown and it is likely that it was fairly short-lived, since within six months of the Act being passed, the landlord of the new beerhouse, the Huntsman Inn, one Thomas Phillips found himself in front of the Yeovil Justices. He was charged with selling liquor after ten o'clock in the evening and was fined forty shillings (around £160 at today's value).
The report from the 17 January 1831 edition of the Western Flying Post.
An interesting snippet from the 21 December 1839 edition of the Somerset County Gazette.
