A gem from a bygone age and with a nationally important historic pub interior, it was built in the mid-17th century as a farmhouse, became an inn in 1827, and has changed little since (apart from proper loos). It was named after a local farm worker, Edward Tucker, who hanged himself in a nearby barn in 1747, and was buried at the crossroads outside. He featured in a song by 1970's punk band The Stranglers, great fans off the pub. There is no bar, and the beer and several ciders are served from an alcove. Shove-ha'penny is played and there is a skittle alley. Camping is available in the extensive grounds. A large barn is used for regular music events and is available for private functions.
