The Tollgate Inn was formerly the White Hart Inn, renamed following refurbishment circa 1980. The building incorporates what was probably the village meeting room built in the mid 18th century with the external stone steps to the left. The main part of the inn is early 20th century. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1021803 Two miles north east of Bradford-on-Avon the village of Holt originally consisted of a settlement around the church and an area around a triangular green called The Ham. The village greatly expanded in the later 20th century. Primarily an agricultural village, it was briefly a spa and there was a woollen cloth mill and factories producing leather, gloves and beds. Now a commuter village with workers travelling to Melksham, Trowbridge and Bradford-on-Avon.
