Title: The Elm Tree at Langton Herring

Place: Langton Herring

About: The Elm Tree Inn at Langton Herring, the building is said to be about four hundred years old. This pub has a beam made from a ship's mast which is apparently kept as a reminder to locals about a fisherman who had been hanged from it. One story goes that this fisherman deceived his fellow fishermen over the size of his catch and was then ruthlessly through the village and subsequently hung from a beam in the Elm Tree Inn in 1780.
