It's always nice to come across a really imaginative pub sign such as this. The bassett hound was the badge of the old and well-known Bassett family of Kidlington. This is the origin of the pub's present name. It has had others in the past. The Bassett family badge can be seen in one of the windows of Kidlington's Parish Church of St. Mary the Virgin.
