History of the hotel
The Durham Ox is over 300 years old. The oak panels in the main bar are late Victorian reproductions of medieval pew ends from St. Michael's Church in Brent Knoll, Somerset.
The story, according to the AA Book of British Villages, goes that sometime in the Middle Ages the Abbot of Glastonbury tried to seize revenues from the Parish priest, who succeeded in foiling him, and the bench ends were carved to celebrate the village's victory.
