The Griffin, formerly the Griffin Inn, is a traditional local pub and is owned by the famous Devizes, Wiltshire, brewery of Wadworth's. It came into their ownership in 1969 when they took over the Garne's of Burford brewery. The pub, one of only two surviving in Newland, opened in 1786. It is the only Wadworth's pub in Witney. The building is Grade II listed and according to the listing text dates from around 1750/60, so probably was a house for a few years before it became a pub. Image
