The Phoenix, Chard
This pub and inn used to be called The George. The style of architecture would suggest it was built in the late 1700s. It would have been a coaching inn, and the large doorway would have been for carriages and horses to access stables at the back.

Bronze model of the first craft to achieve 'powered flight'
This statue/sculpture in Chard is a bronze model of the first device to achieve 'powered flight' in 1848. Designed by John Stringfellow of Chard (1799-1883). However, modern authors are inclined to state that the flight was neither sustained or controlled and did not count as being a true flight in the meaning of the word.
