Former public house now 3 Grade II Listed tenements, probably 17th century refronted in the 18th century. A notice for sale by auction in the White Lion on 13th February 1911 includes 'Dwelling Houses' previously known as The Tuns; another advert stating that 'the licence of which has been surrendered and which will be sold as unlicensed property'. Earliest recorded incumbent is 1879 John King, described as 'Wine, spirit & beer merchant, Three Tuns, & rate collector' although in 1871 he is recorded as a solicitors general clerk. A photograph of the pub sign, undated, describes it as 'Porter's Ale House The Three Tuns'. Reportedly it used to brew its own beer and the well used for this still remains and is under a covenant on the house that it cannot be altered. Other directory entries include; 1939, 1855 & 1869 not listed; 1891-1892 Frederick Grimes (& pork butcher); 1900 Walter Lambert, The Tunns; 1901 listed as Tuns Inn, no victualler given; 1912 as expected can't find it listed.
