Paulton has, until relatively recently, been well known (or perhaps, notorious) for the number of drinking establishments it supports. As early as 1833, in an article extolling the virtues of Field Gardens (allotments essentially), the large number of beerhouses gives rise to a sneer:-
"only one parish in the midst looks on, incredulous or indifferent, to the examples around it. That parish is Paulton - the same Paulton which but a year ago was celebrated for its afflictions - where the destroying pestilence, the Cholera, swept off in two months one twentieth of its inhabitants, and where, when the appalled survivors appealed for food and raiment, the public around made themselves a title in the welfare of the poor, by their benevolent bounty. But its wails and its wants, like a meteor, seem forgotten, and there is no visible testimony of plenty, but its fifteen beer-houses." (Bath Chronicle and Weekly Gazette - 12 December 1833)
