Morland Brewery could trace its origins back to 1711. In 2000 the company and its assets were sold to the Greene King brewery in Suffolk. Greene King lost no time in closing the Morland brewery at Abingdon the same year. Production of Morland beers was then transferred to Suffolk. The Waggon & Horses public house was for many years a Morland house and still has outside this Morland plaque. The plaque commemorated George Morland who was a noted artist and painter. He holds his palette in one hand and a pint of beer in the other. Image Image
