The Three Cocks was situated in the hamlet of Charlton, just to the west of Tetbury on the present day A4135. Charlton is in the rural parish of Tetbury Upton and, as a result, ‘last orders’ were called in the Three Cocks at 10 p.m. On many occasions there must have been an orderly procession up the hill into the pubs of Tetbury in order to take advantage of the later closing time. The Three Cocks had a delightful and mischievous nickname – ‘Ladies Delight’.
The property is now a private house named Three Cocks.
