Old Bowlish House, Shepton Mallet
The most stately and imposing of Bowlish's various big houses. Rendered with stone trim to the windows, balustraded parapet, Ionic doorcase, and emphasis on the first floor (the piano nobile). It must be, as Pevsner remarks, mid C18th, not 1720 as the listing says - contrast with Bowlish House (Image]), round the corner and thirty years older, illustrates the increasing refinement and elegance of Georgian architecture (or, some might say, loss of vernacular charm). Grade II* listed.
The big houses were built for wealthy clothiers who profited from Shepton Mallet's thriving cloth industry, but this now houses the Bowlish Contemporary Gallery.

Shepton Mallet: The Horseshoe Inn
By the Shepton Mallet - Wells road, which was only constructed through the valley in the 19th century. Behind the inn stood one of Shepton’s silk mills which was demolished in 1974, according to Robin Bush [Somerset, The Complete Guide. Dovecote Press, 1994]

Shepton Mallet: Bowlish
Old Bowlish House is half hidden by the road junction. The Horseshoe Inn stands by the Shepton - Wells road, constructed in the 19th century. The old road runs behind the inn. On the right, in shadow, under the tree, is the entrance to Bowlish House, like Old Bowlish House, originally constructed for a wealthy cloth merchant, but more recently functioning as a restaurant

Bowlish House, Shepton Mallet
One of several big houses in Bowlish - this dates from 1732. Every window has a triangular or segmental pediment. The general proportions suggest early C18th and a provincial builder at work. Grade II* listed.
It is now a hotel and restaurant.
