Axe & Compass (1), High Street, Kempsford
This pub, which is believed to date from around the middle of the 19th century, apparently closed in 2008. An application was made to turn it into housing units, but it seems this was withdrawn in February 2011. The reasons for this are not known. It seems a great pity if this pub is lost, particularly as progress is being made on the restoration of the Thames & Severn Canal. Although it is probably many years before the Kempsford section receives attention, it would bring more visitors to the village.

Axe & Compass (2) - pub sign, High Street, Kempsford
Currently closed and its future uncertain. It has been here before, when the then owners wanted to close it in 1996. Cotswold District Council rejected the application, and it re-opened, apparently under new owners.

Axe & Compass (3) - entrance door, High Street, Kempsford
The notice on the door says "Pub not open". Above is a warning about hidden CCTV cameras. I can remember this pub in the 1980's, when it had a tremendous atmosphere. It would be good if it could be saved, but in the present climate that is probably unlikely.

Axe & Compass (4) - Courage sign, High Street, Kempsford
At one time there were a large number of Courage branded pubs across the country. The company changed hands many times, during the process of which the tied public houses were transferred to another company and since then many, such as this one, were sold off. Even the giant Courage Brewery in Reading was closed in 2010, and the right to brew Courage ales has passed to Wells & Young's Brewing Company of Bedford.
The Courage sign on the Axe & Compass, was once a familiar sight across the country, but today not a lot of them remain, so this is quite an interesting historical artefact.
