Church Street, Tetbury, Gloucestershire, GL8

The name Troopers Court derives from the belief that in Elizabethan times the whole of Troopers Court and parts of the adjoining buildings formed the ‘Three Cups Inn’ and Cromwell’s soldiers were billeted there when King Charles II troops were at nearby Beverston, hence the name Troopers Court. The Three Cups Inn is also referenced in Jane Austens Novel Northanger Abbey as being the principal coaching house later to become an ironmongers shop.
