A 400-year-old pub situated in the heart of Burcot, Oxfordshire, The Chequers is steeped in history and has many stories to tell.
The building seems to be of 16th century origin and is traditionally held to have been an Inn for farm labourers, servants, and river workers travelling up the Thames selling their wares.
Wool workers would frequent the Inn regularly arriving from the Chilterns.
In 1950 a fire broke out at the old dairy farm next door, destroying the building but luckily sparing the Inn.
