The Rattlebone Inn is a public house in Sherston, Wiltshire, England. It has been listed Grade II on the National Heritage List for England since December 1986. [1] The inn is named for Rattlebone, who fought for Edmund Ironside against King Cnut at the Battle of Sherston in 1016. [1] A major fire occurred at the pub in March 2014. [2] The pub is popular with members of the nearby Beaufort Hunt. [3]

The pub has three boules pitches, and hosts turnip tossing competitions. [3]
