The Fleece Inn is a very old pub, also known as a public house, located in the village of Bretforton. This village is in Worcestershire, a county in England. The pub is found in a beautiful area called the Vale of Evesham.
The building itself is quite special. It is a "half-timbered" building, which means its walls are made with a frame of strong wooden beams and the spaces in between are filled with other materials. This pub is incredibly old, over six hundred years! It has been serving as a pub since 1848. Today, it is looked after by the National Trust, an organization that protects historic places.
