The sign indicates this was formerly a Brakspear's house. The lamb is of great significance in Christianity, and the inn may have been given the name because of this connection. An alternative suggestion might be the local significance of the wool industry, particularly in nearby Witney, which was famous for its woollen blankets. In truth, often the reason why a pub or inn got its name has been lost with the passage of time. Image Image
