After the church the oldest building in Dalwood is the Tucker's Arms, some parts of which are probably 14th century in age. Reconstruction work in recent years has revealed old cob walls, timbers and lath and plaster work of medieval type. Could have been a building belonging to the lords of the manor. The through passage from front door to back, suggests that it could have been a farm at sometime. The little round structure with thatched roof on the right of the entrance is a bread oven. The arms shown on the inn sign have been identified by A. Reed as those of William Tucker of Old Westwater beside those of his wife Agnes Hollings whom he married in 1686. Known originally as the New Inn, the name was changed possibly in the 19th century.
