Former shop in Packhorse Lane, Marcham, Oxon
Judging by the type of central window this was almost certainly at one time a shop. The window is fairly new and previously there was a slightly curved window very much in the style used in Victorian shops. The building is now a private house.

Houses on NW side of Packhorse Lane
There is an OS benchmark Image at the end of the wall in the middle of the image. The house on the right is The Red House, which seems odd given its colour!

The Crown (4) - plaque, 1 Packhorse Lane, Marcham, Oxon
This ceramic plaque near the entrance door on Packhorse Lane is a reminder that this was once a Morland's house. The brewers were based at Abingdon, but originated in West Ilsley in Berkshire in 1711. This long tradition came to an end when they were bought by Suffolk brewers Greene King in 2000 and quickly closed. Some Morland beers are now brewed in Suffolk. Greene King took over a large estate of public houses from Morland but this one seems to have been sold off either before or after the takeover.

The Crown (3) - sign, 1 Packhorse Lane, Marcham, Oxon
The lower part of the sign has probably been painted over. It is very likely that this showed the name of the brewery which at one time owned this pub. This was Morlands of Abingdon, now sadly closed.
The Crown indicates loyalty to the reigning monarch. It has been used as an inn or pub sign for hundreds of years. In the past, when most people were illiterate, the sign was easily recognised by people. The Crown is almost as popular as the Red Lion as a pub name.
