The Dogs, Wincanton

The Dogs (also known as The Old House) in Wincanton, Somerset, England was built around 1650 and has been designated as a Grade I listed building.

[1][2] The name 'The Dogs' refers to two stone greyhounds, which were previously used as finials on the gateposts, but these have since disappeared.

[1] They represented the arms of the Churchey family who locally held the title Lord of the Manor.

[3] The two storey house was largely rebuilt in the 1740s by Nathaniel Ireson,[4] but is one of the few buildings in the town known to predate a serious fire in 1707.

[6] William of Orange slept in one of the bedrooms for at least one night during the Glorious Revolution in 1688.
