Faulkland, Tucker's Grave Inn
Historic public house on Wells Road, named after a 1747 suicide, Edwin Tucker; in those days, it was customary to bury suicides at crossroads. A strikingly simple interior, with entrance from the back to a corridor; left, tap room (with an antiquely painted sign), wooden benches, wood-burning stove and wooden shutters; also the home to shove-halfpenny and bar skittles boards. Right, servery - one of very few pubs without a counter. Beer and Cider are dispensed by gravity from containers by the wall. Also in this area, a small snug, and behind the servery Rose Room, originally private. Cask ale on offer: Butcombe Original, with draught ciders. Externally, garden with well, skittle alley and camping site. The pub is listed in the Good Beer Guide, CAMRA's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors, and by Historic England: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1058676

Tuckers Grave Inn
The inn is a traditional cider house. The inn is named after a local man who hanged himself in 1747 in a barn near the present inn. As was custom he was buried in unconsecrated ground, said to be where the car park of the inn is today. I am unsure if it was open or closed!
