The Brewers' Arms

The Brewers' Arms is an inn located on St James's Street in South Petherton. It dates back to 1622 but was largely rebuilt in 1925. The building is constructed from cut and squared ham stone with ashlar dressings. It features diamond asbestos-cement slates between stepped coped gables and has brick chimney stacks. The inn is two storeys high with four bays, the fourth bay being a later addition made of ashlar.

The structure has a plinth and ovolo-mould mullioned windows set in wave-mould recesses. The upper bays one and three have three-light windows, each partly set into small coped gables that display rectangular date plaques. The lower bays one and three have four-light windows, all featuring labels, while bay two has a two-light window with a label on the lower section. To the right of bay two, there is a cambered-arched doorway under a deep lintel without a label, accessed by three steps. Bay four features a wide elliptical arch with imposts and a keystone, above which is a three-light hollow-chamfer mullioned window in a chamfered recess without a label. Between the upper bays two and three, there is a projecting hanging sign. The interior has not been seen.
