An old public house which is Grade II listed and described as early 18th century. Elsewhere it is claimed that parts of the building date back 400 years, which would make it older. It was originally a private house but at some stage it became a public house. Originally it was on the main road the A420, but this was diverted onto a new bypass. At that point the then owners the Morland Brewery of Abingdon wanted to convert it to housing. However after strong public opposition the brewery decided to invest money into it and today it is a popular local facility with a restaurant. It is now a Greene King house, following their purchase of Morland in 2000. Image Image
