The medieval Buttercross was where local farmers' wives used to sell butter and eggs. The clock was added in 1683.

The use of the witch in the design is presumably a play on words. I'm not aware that Wychwood Forest has a larger population of witches than any other area of woodland of its size.

The brewery was established in 1983 on the site of what was once Clinch and Company's brewery until it was taken over by one of the big operators who just wanted Clinch's pubs. They brew Wychwood branded beer and, since the closure of Brakspear's brewery in Henley, Brakspear beer as well. The brands are brewed in their own fermenting rooms using in the case of Brakspear, equipment originally used at Henley. They also brew beer under the 'Ushers' brand for the current owners of Wychwood, Refresh UK, who took over the brewery in 2002.

Time seems to have stopped for this shop although the flowers in the window seem to be real and alive. The council tax records appear to indicate that it is still occupied. The building is listed Grade II http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=397052

Dist:0.1km<br/>The collection times plate on this postbox has been "stickered", with a sticker advocating keeping the Royal Mail in public hands. In 2011 new plans to sell part or all of the organisation, to a private company or companies, were under consideration by the Government. [[2478353]].
