The Queen's Head Hotel This three storey, grade II listed building is a long-standing feature of one of Tavistock's oldest streets. The building was refurbished in the late 1990's to become Brown's Hotel. During the refurbishment, a holy well was uncovered that provided fresh water for Tavistock Abbey. Brown's Hotel was previously the Queen's Head, an old coaching inn with extensive stabling and yards at the rear. In the 18th century, the Queen's Head was one of Tavistock's many hostelries and is said to have stood on the site of an even earlier inn. These premises were refurbished by JD Wetherspoon and opened in July 2015
