			Having once been the '''Pilgrims' Inn of Glastonbury Abbey''', by the mid-nineteenth century the building was known as the '''George Hotel'''. The current name preserves both. The first record of the building is from 1439 when the tenant was N. Kynge. In 1493 Abbot John Selwood gave a "new" building to the abbey chamberlain. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries it became the property of the Duke of Somerset. By 1562, when a 21-year lease on the building was taken out by George Cowdrey, it was described as ''"in such great ruin that it is likely that in default of repair within a few years the rent will not be answered"'' but included "six feather-beds". In 1658 the property was divided and a horse-mill installed to grind malt. The building was also used for meetings and inquiries for example by Royal Commissioners (in 1672) and the Quakers (in 1691).
