Landmarks
One of the most popular landmarks in Huish Episcopi is the Rose and Crown pub, which was built around 1800 and is known to its patrons as "Eli's". A homely, family-run pub, Eli's serves its customers from a flagstone-floored cellar with no bar. Until 2007 the pub had a simple cash box instead of a till. The pub is described at length in The Longest Crawl by Ian Marchant.
Eli's reopened for business in May 2009 following a refit, it having been closed since it was flooded during the winter.

Famous quotes containing the word landmarks:
“Of all the bewildering things about a new country, the absence of human landmarks is one of the most depressing and disheartening.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“The lives of happy people are dense with their own doings—crowded, active, thick.... But the sorrowing are nomads, on a plain with few landmarks and no boundaries; sorrow’s horizons are vague and its demands are few.”
