Tucker? at Tuckers Grave - Faulkland - Somerset
Tucker's Grave , Faulkland, Somerset Tuckers Grave is a traditional cider house and is the oldest in Somerset, its is steeped in history and has been serving the local area for 200 years. It has no bar and is relatively unchanged since WW1 with original Georgian features. It was built in the mid 17th Century near the burial site of a local farm worker Edward Tucker who, on 5th June 1747 hung himself in a barn a few miles away. At that time suicides were not permitted to be buried on hallowed ground but were to be buried in unmarked graves usually at a cross roads, supposedly so the soul would be confused and not find its way to Heaven. These lonely and unhallowed graves all too easily became the focus of local fears and rumours There are reports that his ghostly figure ,has been seen by witnesses around the area of the public house. I used to drive this road every night at one time when I lived near Faulkland, but never saw anything.
