Mr Duxbury said: "We know the village well and feel that it really deserves two good pubs.

"We look forward to working with Moorhouse's, a well respected local brewery who have been very supportive to us in our work to relaunch.

"We are aiming to build on our reputation for offering hospitality, honest home cooked dishes and good beer with a selection of Moorhouse's ales and a quality guest ale every week."

Nigel Ramsay, Moorhouse's financial controller, said: "We warmly welcome Andrew and Andrea as new tenants at the Rising Sun, which is a real gem in our small pub estate.

"With their experience, we are confident that they will do a great job in re-establishing the pub as part of the fabric of village life, while also giving a very warm welcome to people visiting the beautiful Pendle countryside."
