Three Tuns - Coppergate

Three Tuns is a popular name for pubs in England and you find many such named pubs around the country. A Tun is a large brewing vessel e.g. Mash Tun where grains used in brewing are treated with hot water (liquor) to extract sugars for the fermentation process., or the lautering Tun which is used for coarse filtration of the fluid from the mashing process. The Three Tuns in Coppergate is just up the road from the All Saints Church on the opposite side of the road.
