The Griffin (2) - sign, 166 Newland, Witney, Oxon
Named after the mythological creature which dates back at least five thousand years. Judging by this rather splendid sign you wouldn't want to bump into this creature on a dark night!

The Griffin (1), 166 Newland, Witney, Oxon
The Griffin, formerly the Griffin Inn, is a traditional local pub and is owned by the famous Devizes, Wiltshire, brewery of Wadworth's. It came into their ownership in 1969 when they took over the Garne's of Burford brewery. The pub, one of only two surviving in Newland, opened in 1786. It is the only Wadworth's pub in Witney. The building is Grade II listed and according to the listing text dates from around 1750/60, so probably was a house for a few years before it became a pub.

Solar panels on bungalows in Wadard's Meadow, Witney, Oxon
The three bungalows nearest the camera have large solar panels on their rooves (or roofs, if you prefer). The large housing estate known as Wadard's Meadow is named after a Norman knight who apparently came over to England with William the Conqueror. Wadard held lands in Oxfordshire and elsewhere and is depicted on the Bayeux Tapestry. But little else seems to be known about him.
