Another former Halls house built in the late 1890s, it was renamed the Royal Green Jackets into which the former Ox and Bucks Light Infantry was absorbed. When in the care of Punch Taverns (what care!) the pub was closed and sold to a developer, and a long battle took place with the locals finally getting the pub back with the loss of the car park, where a couple of houses were built."
