The Rattlebone Inn is a public house in Sherston, Wiltshire, England. It has been listed Grade II on the National Heritage List for England since December 1986.[1] The inn is named for Rattlebone, who fought for Edmund Ironside against King Cnut at the battle of Sherston in 1016.[1] A major fire occurred at the pub in March 2014.[2] The pub is popular with members of the nearby Beaufort Hunt.[3]
The pub has three boules pitches, and hosts turnip tossing competitions.[3]
