The Polebarn Hotel, Trowbridge
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.

The Polebarn Hotel
This fine establishment started out as a private residence in 1798; it was built for a wealthy mill owner John Clarke. He lavished his home to show off his fortune: the house was one of only a few in the town to feature Bath stone and also have extensive grounds of several acres. There were water features, a temple, a coach house and a walled kitchen garden.
The house was sold by auction in 1920 to the local council for £1,950, and they used it for Children's Services and later as flats. The house became a hotel in 1978.
