If you turn left at the bottom of Horn's Lane down the High Street past the Old Axbridge Lion, now a private house, you will pass the Manor House and then further on the former butcher's of whose magnificent carved wooden door the poet Sir John Betjeman wrote:

"Where in all England is there another Butcher's Shop with a magnificent entrance like that?"

The butcher and his award-winning sausages have now moved into the Square.

Opposite the old butcher's is the recently restored Old Drugstore, one of the oldest houses in this ancient town, now a private house.

Turning right from Horn's Lane will take you into West Street. Many of the buildings are medieval with Georgian facades. Many of them were shops or blacksmith's forges and some of their secrets are laid bare in the exhibition on the first floor of the Hunting Lodge in the Square.

Also of note is the Grade 2 listed Methodist Church on your left, which has some fine stained glass windows.
