Bell Inn, Shennington

[derby girl]

Dear All
My Dad's cousin has sent me a copy of a letter written to her great aunt in the early 70s.  I think the writer's name might (or might not) be Susie.  But she's nearly 86 and living with her daughter and son-in-law (or possibly daughter-in-law and son) Hilda and Francis who are publicans at the Bell Inn, Shennington, nr Banbury in Oxfordshire.   She mentions no less than 14 people in the letter by name - but few surnames.  Is there any way I can find out who kep the Bell Inn in the late 60s and early 70s, please?
Many thanks
Derby Girl

Hi,
Various memebers of the Jackson family owned the inn from 1898 - 2002

Dear Bev
Thanks for your help.  However, this is the Bell Inn, at Shennington, near Banbury, Oxfordshire.  I'm sorry I haven't been as clear as I should have been.
Thanks

Oops, so sorry for jumping the gun on what I thought was a good find.
I should have read the page properly before posting.

Maybe, but the stuff on the Bell Inn near Nottingham was actually very interesting.  I must admit I've been to the Trip to Jerusalem plenty of times, but hadn't heard of this one.  The thing about the "Trip" is you get to have lunch in a cave - which I like the idea of.

Hi Derby Girl

Daft question first which century are you after?

I have several rellies who lived at the Bell, Shennington and I know the current owner - it is a tied house to Hook Norton Brewery.

Let me know

Dear Nigel
Thank you very much - in fact I rang them this afternoon, rather expecting them to say they had no idea, and this evening they have come back with the name I was after.  I had taken it for granted they would not have any idea, and I'd be needing access to old directories and so on, but not only did they come back with the answer, but they were absolutely charming - couldn't have been kinder.   But thank you very much for your offer.  Hopefully I can now work out what connection the writer of the letter is to my family.
Again, thanks very much.
