Yew Tree Inn off the A338/A354

This inn was once a centre for sheep shearers and gypsies.  The charming old-fashioned 16th century thatched country inn with its old beams is the typical English village pub.  It plays a big part in the village history as recorded in the article found in the crime section ‘For the love of a child’.
