Although no longer a rest stop for weary travellers, The Three Tuns was the oldest hostelry in Sutton Coldfield, then known as THE THREE TUNS HOTEL. Our earliest noted visitor recorded is the Earl of Richmond (later King Henry VII), who lodged here on his way to Bosworth. The hotel also sheltered Priestley, the Unitarian minister and discoverer of oxygen gas, after his house was attacked during the Birmingham riots of 1791.
The Civil War is also rooted in the history of our pub, with arguably Sutton's most famous apparition, the ghost of a young Cavalier drummer boy, who supposedly has haunted the cellar of The Three Tuns since he was murdered in the stocks and dumped here by Roundhead troops.
