Public houses are an important part of Wiltshire's social life. The local pub is a central feature of our community and provides valued leisure and recreational opportunities for the customer.

A wide variety of pubs have evolved and become excellent eating out venues to enjoy others company, have a relaxing drink, and more often than not, offer top quality food to make the most of our out-of-work time.

History of Sally Pussey
Sarah Purse was the licensee of The Wheat Sheaf Inn on the Wootton Bassett to Swindon road until she passed away in 1885 and was laid to rest in Lydiard Tregoze Churchyard. During her reign it is said that she possessed extraordinary powers as a faith healer or both men and beast.

She became somewhat of a living legend because of this and, although a mere 5’1” high, had an awesome reputation among her regulars who included some of the burly men building the Great Western Railway line.

Rumour has it that on more than one occasion she physically ‘put them out’ with not a hint of resistance. Like all good legendary figures Sarah had a name of her own. By various rolls of the Wiltshire tongue she first became Sarah Puss, then Sah Puss and finally Sally Pussey – or Aunt Sally as she became better known.

Around 1971 it was decided to revive the legend of aunt Sally and re-name the Wheat Sheaf the Sally Pussey’s Inn.
