The Duke William was situated on The Street, closing in August 2009.

The Duke William closed in August 2009, the landlord served wonderful real ale, but unfortunately the landlord and his wife did not see eye to eye with the majority of the locals. Opening hours were erratic to say the least, with a chicken and egg situation occurring, the pub was regularly shutting at 9 o'clock, and sometimes not opening at all, people wouldn't drive there as they never knew if it would be open or not. They have stolen our pub, the nearest pub is three miles away, so many people do not go out now, we are in a rural area and have no bus services, the nearest taxi service provider is four miles away which makes for a very expensive night out.
