A view held for perpetuity
Wincanton is a relatively small town and in the past was much more involved in rural matters. Marking when a water supply was brought to it in the late 1800s, Samuel Deanesly is remembered by this spot. Bean Close has been given to the feoffees of the town in memoriam in 1927 so that this view will be enjoyed by all. It is rather more significant these days as just down the road a lot of land has been claimed for a small housing development.
It also happens to provide a view over a wartime disaster. In 1944 an American B-17 bomber crashed near Snagg Farm, some 1km (5/8 mile) from here. See Image]
