The Masons Arms

The Masons Arms is a historic pub, formerly known as Hunt Edmunds, a renowned Banbury brewery that operated until 1965. This establishment, which dates back to the 17th century, is named after the Mason family, who were significant landowners in the surrounding area. The pub, with its two rooms and old-world charm, primarily focuses on wet sales, offering one or two types of beer at a time. Interestingly, local lore suggests that this establishment served as the parish workhouse from the 1770s to the 1820s. Today, the Masons Arms is a popular spot for patrons to gather and enjoy televised horse racing, the preferred sport among its clientele. Despite its evolution over the centuries, the pub retains its historic charm and continues to be a beloved local institution.
