Ours was the last of three coaching inns to be built in the village. ... By the mid-nineteenth century, as coaching traffic declined, only The Pelican remained open for business. Since then, it has continued to welcome guests in a number of forms, as a gastro-pub, a Chinese restaurant and a nightclub (and at one time it was even owned by the famous children’s TV presenter Johnny Morris!).' https://ourlocal.pub/pubs/the-pelican-inn-froxfield/about/The Pelican, like some other pubs [[6845531]] has used its pandemic-enforced closure to do refurbishment.
