    The slab is an exact replica of the original slab which occupied the site of The Slab House Inn during the time of the Black Death in 1348-1350, when a three-mile quarantine limit was imposed around Wells. Cautious farmers and traders would leave food, drink and other produce on the large
    slab for locals to come and collect. The slab was used again during the plague of 1598-1600.
    The Slab House Inn is owned by BBC Ready, Steady Cook star Brian Turner and Stuart Le Gassick.
