Foxed


This is The Fox Inn in Bucks Green, West Sussex. It's a lovely example of a country pub, which for 364 days of the year remains exactly that. However, on Christmas day at midday a horse is walked through the bar. Nobody seems to know the why and the when of the whole affair these days, but there is a vague notion that once it was done to mark an ancient right of way. It has been known on occasion to substitute a motorbike, a sheep and even a lord when there's been no suitable horse available!

    1. I read about it in the Country File magazine last year. Knew nothing about it prior to then!
