Wincanton's civic meeting house has a troubled history. The first version was destroyed by a ramapaging crowd in 1767, replaced in 1769, but that was burned to the ground by a fire in 1877. The third iteration was designed by W. J. Willcox of Bath in 1878 and is now Grade II listed. A benchmark remains on the corner - see Image
