occupied the position of the present York Street, in the rear the 
premises ran further south, and extended eastwards along the south 
of the Queen’s Bath. To the middle of the 18th century there 
was direct access from the building to the Queen’s and King’s 
Baths. In1619 the then tenant Philip Sherwood (in 1647 removed 
from the Council as a malignant) obtained a license for its use as. 
a Tavern, and placed a pole before its front in Stall Street on 
which flaunted “a new fair sign of Three Tunnes.” Over this. 
sign a long and fierce controversy raged and it was forcibly 
removed in 1622, by order of the then Mayor, but after an 
interval Sherwood “set up the sign again in an insolent manner.” 
The house is shewn on Gilmore’s Map, 1694, as ‘‘ The three 
Tunns Lodgings by the Kings Bath.”

In 1679 the Three Tuns was held by William Sherstone, and. 
it is possible that by that date Landicke had removed to an Inn 
in Cheap Street. In 1681 and later the Chamberlain notes :—
