Description

The sign post at Three Lamps, located at the intersection with Wells Road, dates from the early 19th century. It features a cast-iron column with a fluted Doric design and a square entablature adorned with triglyphs. The post supports two finger posts with pointing hands and pierced lettering that indicate the directions to Bath and Wells. The sign post was restored around 1985 and includes three glass balloon lamps. It is commonly referred to as the Bishop of Bath and Wells and is noted as one of the finest early 19th century signposts in England, according to Pevsner's "The Buildings of England."
