You may be deceived into thinking the peacefully grazing cow depicted on the sign is an idyllic, country scene but legend reveals an interesting story related below.

Described on the pub website: visit link

'A Little Pub History

The Dun Cow is named after a local myth. Legend has it that the Dun Cow was a "monstrous beast four yards high and six yards long" which provided milk to the locals. A witch made it go on a murderous rampage until it was slain by Guy, Earl of Warwick. In 1605, the Gunpowder Plotters also stayed in Dunchurch.'
