The Rose and Portcullis in Butleigh
The pub stands on the crossroads just to the south of the village. Back in the distant past, the area was rich in cider apples and hence there were two main pubs in the village for many years. One is now lost but the other was the New Inn, which became the Rose and Portcullis in 1860 - thought to be a unique name in the country.
In 1901 the Rose and Portcullis was leased by The People’s Refreshment-House Association, whose aim was to encourage the sale of food and non-intoxicating drinks. By placing an emphasis away from alcohol, the landlords were charged to “regard themselves as an agent of temperance and good behaviour”. The Association carried on into WWII, but the pub now has a more traditional stance.

Diverted to the pub
The Rose and Portcullis from Barton Road and it seems there is a good reason to wander by. A benchmark dating from the nineteenth century can still be made out on the wall below the Stop sign - see Image

Sign for the Rose and Portcullus
A portcullis is the framed metal gate at the entrance to a castle which could be lowered quickly on chains as a defence. 'Portcullis' literally means 'sliding door or gate'. Its distinctive shape, and its symbolic representation of stout defence made it a popular heraldic symbol. It refers heraldically to the Dukes of Beaufort, Henry VII, Henry VIII, and City of Westminster etc. At Butleigh the Tudor rose has been added to the sign.
