The Fleece Inn, Hawkesbury Road GL12 7RD  

Thanks to Dave Hedges for the new photo, The old photo of the Fleece circa 1910, the poster to the right 1827 sale for the Big House Hawkesbury 

The 17th century Fleece Inn was once tied to Witchell's Tetbury Brewery. Thomas Witchell did not own many pubs and the Fleece Inn was a rare outlet. The annual rateable value of the Fleece Inn was £10.0s.0d. in 1891 and 1903. (10 p.m. closing time). Witchell's were subsequently acquired by another Tetbury Brewery, Warns. An old photograph shows the gabled end of the pub with the painted lettering: 'The Fleece Inn. Warn & Sons. Celebrated Ales, Wines & Spirits'. An ornamental iron bracket carrying the pub sign above the front door of the pub in the old photograph is still there today. A West Country Ales ceramic plaque also remains in situ.
