The Ben
Jonson, one of two public houses in Weston-on-the-Green. The other
is The Chequers.
The Ben
Jonson seems to have been the centre of activities at the annual Village
Feast in September, 1879. As the Bicester Advertiser, the local
newspaper, put it, a number of amusements of the itinerant kind
arrived at Weston either before or after St Giles's Fair in Oxford.
In addition
to this celebration, there was the Weston-on-the-Green Club Feast
which took place in early summer. It seems to have been a savings
club affiliated to the church and at the feast there was a service
with a sermon and a sit-down dinner.
