The Fox & Hounds is listed in the 1851 census with four households, none of whom are shown as publicans. Most other censuses up to 1901 name Fox & Hounds. It is usually listed between Gedding Last and Frogs Hall, next to cottage at Abbot's Farm and Bradfield Rd. (Probably towards the north west of the village).
Our photograph and location show a building called "Reynard House" on the OS map, which strongly suggests it may have been the pub, especially as it's in roughly the right location. Though signs at the gate show it's now known as Hubbard Corner.
