On the corner of Polebarn Road and Roundstone Street, viewed from Church Street. Built as Polebarn House, was first occupied in 1789 by John Clark, a local mill owner, and his family. The house, one of the few built with Bath Stone in Trowbridge, was designed as a display of his wealth and status. Last used as a private residence in 1920, it then had varying uses, such as offices and flats. It was renamed The Polebarn Hotel in 1978.
