There were once four public houses at Tongue End, now there are none, and the busiest of them all was the Carrington Arms, named after a local landowner, Lord Carrington of Wycombe Abbey in Buckinghamshire, who helped finance the drainage of the fens. The inn opened in 1811 and remained in business until the mid-20th century but is now a private dwelling accessed by a concrete bridge over the Counter Drain that was once used by wagons and then lorries to bring in regular beer supplies from the brewery.
