This is or was a Wadworths pub, but it's not clear if they still own it, although their famous 6X beer is normally on sale. Wadworths are a well-known brewery in Devizes, Wiltshire, who acquired a number of public houses in Oxfordshire from another brewery. The pub gets its name from the Strickland family, who were local landowners living at Cokethorpe Park. The house seems to have become a private school. The pub sign has the family's coat of arms and their French motto "A la volonté de Dieu", translates as "In the Will of God". Image Update March 2018:- The pub closed in January 2015.
