After over three hundred years as a public house, this one had closed by 2011. Long regarded as one of the best and oldest in Witney, it is much missed. In the last thirty years Witney has only permanently lost two public houses, this one and the Butchers Arms in Corn Street. For a very long time it was known as the King of Prussia. It is thought to be the only pub in the UK to have ever had the name of the House of Windsor. Whether it will ever re-open is unknown. Image The building itself started life as a private house before becoming a public house a long time ago. It is Grade II listed and dates from the 17th century. It was refronted and altered around 1800 and there are some later alterations.
