The Three Tuns was a large coaching inn that once stood in the centre of the village. The pub dated back to at least the 1720s. In 1783 the Norfolk Chronicle reported the death there of one Robert Rayner.

In 1830 the "Royal Mail Telegraph" coach to London (via Saxmundham, Wickham Market, Woodbridge & Ipswich) called every morning at seven whilst the "Shannon" called every morning at six. The returning "Shannon" to Halesworth called every evening at half past seven. The "Royal Mail Telegraph" coach to Yarmouth (via Wangford & Lowestoft) called every morning at half past seven.

The inn burned down in 1925.

Historically the Three Tuns is listed as a commercial inn & posting house.

The 1841 Census names the pub and it could be read as Three Fens Inn, but this is not clear.
