  • Outstanding pub conversion

This building has had many lives before it became a pub towards the end of the 20th century, starting out as a church hall, and was at one time a theatre.

The atmosphere at The Church House is fun and is a comfortable place to relax over a good bottle of wine, or a beer, in the company of friends. Now home to Banbury Folk Club.

Conversion

Built as church rooms in 1905 and later a theatre, this has been a pub for twenty years. Grade II-listed it consists of a large room with a part-glazed barrel-vaulted ceiling and a large gallery from which to view the whole room. Has a sizeable entrance hall and another room on the first floor with an oriel window. The layout and impressive bar fittings make good use of the fine setting.
