The majority of pubs have now reopened after the latest lockdown, albeit still with restrictions. Many pubs currently have temporary trading hours; these are shown where known. We also show pubs we know have still not reopened as temporarily closed.

Please note that due to the pandemic currently being allowed to run out of control, many pubs are having to close temporarily due to staff or customers getting "pinged". Please check with the pubs if you plan to travel any distance.

Now subdivided into several shops and a wine-bar, the Fox dates from the 17th century, with frequent alterations since.

It was historically a family & commercial hotel and posting house.

The hotel is shown (though not named) on this old OS map from about the end of the 19th century. interactive map
