The House of Windsor (2) - sign, 31 West End, Witney, Oxon
Although this public house has been closed for around three years or more, the sign remains. It shows Windsor Castle and probably portraits of King George V and Queen Mary, but it is difficult to be sure as they are not very realistic and show signs of retouching. The Royal Family's family name was changed to Windsor in 1917 at the time of the First World War (1914-18) because of anti-German feeling. Their original name of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha showed the family's Germanic origins. As the pub was known as the King of Prussia (then part of what is now Germany) the pub may well have thought it prudent to change their name also.

The House of Windsor (1), 31 West End, Witney, Oxon
After over three hundred years as a public house, this one had closed by 2011. Long regarded as one of the best and oldest in Witney, it is much missed. In the last thirty years Witney has only permanently lost two public houses, this one and the Butchers Arms in Corn Street. For a very long time it was known as the King of Prussia. It is thought to be the only pub in the UK to have ever had the name of the House of Windsor. Whether it will ever re-open is unknown.

The building itself started life as a private house before becoming a public house a long time ago. It is Grade II listed and dates from the 17th century. It was refronted and altered around 1800 and there are some later alterations.

Elim Christian Fellowship, West End, Witney, Oxon
The Elim Christian Fellowship is an Elim Pentecostal Church. The building dates from 1881 when it was built for use as a Church of England School. It then was taken over by the Catholic Church as a chapel. In 1975 it was purchased by the Elim Movement who have been worshiping there since that time. Currently the exterior of the building appears to be undergoing renovation.
