The Star Inn at Watchfield

The Adams family documents that made up the deeds to their property in Watchfield have been deposited within the Shrivenham Heritage Society Archive by David Adams. Modern legal conveyancing now only requires that the property is registered with HM Land Registry and that has unfortunately rendered original deeds obsolete. As a result of this, valuable historical facts are often lost. These documents are a classic example of what can be discovered when they are saved. It was known vaguely that a public house called The Star once existed in the vicinity of Oxford Square, but exactly where had been lost. The Adams documents contained that information and much more.
