Dating back to the 16th Century, The Plough was formerly a staging post for London coaches and is one of the oldest pubs in the area. It is said that in 1643 a wake was held here for John Hampden by his beloved Greencoats, whilst escorting his body back to the family home at Great Hampden from Thame, where he died following the Battle of Chalgrove. Today landlords Steve & Sharon Hollings have embraced the pub's rich heritage & traditions whilst making sure The Plough offers all the modern facilities customers expect. They extend the warmest of welcomes to all who pass through.
