The Duke of York is a 19th century Cotswold stone building. The pub was named after the Lords of the Manor, the Mortimers, who were Dukes of York. The Duke of York was described in the 1980 edition of CAMRA’s ‘Real Ale in Gloucestershire’ as a ‘friendly village pub in depths of village. Narrow roads make it hard to find.’ Whitbread P.A. and Bitter were served on hand pump.
