The Robin Hood in Witney, Oxfordshire, was in existence by 1939, when it was listed (with Ernest Clements as publican) in Kelly's Directory.[1] The pub closed c. 2015 and has subsequently been turned into flats.[2] It thus barely survived into the Facebook era.[3] Publican information for 1939 only can be found at UK Pub History.[4] Template:PnItemQry
