![]() The sign of The Fox has been used since the late fifteenth
century. The region around this pub has a long tradition of fox hunting. Many
signs of The Fox used to carry the verse: 'I am a crafty fox you see, but there
is no harm in me, my master he has placed me here, to let you know he sells good
beer.' The Fox Inn is still trading on Brackley's Banbury Road. The pubs' sign
reveals that it was recently operated by Mann's. In 1891 the pub was kept by
Northumberland-born Benjamin Bambrick and his wife Elizabeth. Born in 1851, she
hailed from the Oxfordshire village of Clifton. In addition to his duties as
licensee of the Fox Inn, Benjamin Bambrick worked as a groom, a trade he had
learned in Kensington, London.
