The Romany Inn
« on: Friday 26 October 07 21:05 BST (UK) »
Hi does anyone know how the Romany inn of Bampton got its name?
Does it have anything to do with local Romanies, or is it a modern name?
thanks

from what i can see on the 1886 map it was the Elephant and Castle, Bridge street. which closed 2002 .

It's possible that the Romany Inn and The Horseshoe, also on Bridge have replaced The E and C.
