The Eight Bells has an unusual frontage with timber framed gables protruding over the pavement. The entrance was set back beneath the upper floors. A landlord fell to his death by falling down a well at the pub in the 1890’s. The Tetbury branch of the Royal British Legion had their inaugural meeting at the Eight Bells in June 1923. The Eight Bells closed in the 1970’s.
