Please help us to save our Pub.

The Fox and Hounds Pub in Great Wolford, Warwickshire, is at risk of being closed forever.

The Save the Fox & Hounds Campaign is working to keep this much-loved Cotswolds gem in its place at the heart of the community. Once a successful destination pub with fabulous food and a B and B, it can again be a thriving business.

The Fox and Hounds is in a beautiful North Cotswold village in a conservation area (AONB) . This wonderful pub dates back to the 17th century and was an award-winning example of a rural business at its best. The Fox & Hounds was a magnet for locals as well as a destination pub for those from miles away. This historic inn, with its old beams and fireplace, was the beating heart of the surrounding village communities. For background on the Campaign and details of all Applications for change of use, please see The Story So Far

Please see our appeal for donations below. The owners now have permission to convert the pub into two houses UNLESS we win our case in court.

PLEASE HELP US TO RAISE FUNDS FOR LEGAL COSTS FOR A STATUTORY REVIEW

THE OWNERS’ PLANNING APPEAL WAS ALLOWED BY THE PLANNING INSPECTORATE IN DECEMBER. WE NEED TO RAISE £20,000 FOR LEGAL COSTS, OTHERWISE THE OWNERS CAN START CONVERTING THE FOX AND HOUNDS TO 2 HOUSES.

UPDATE 17TH MARCH : We have received £11,735 to date on GoFundMe.com. Thank you to all those who have supported us. However, we need to reach our goal of £20,000 to pay our legal costs for a Statutory Review. (This process is similar to a Judicial Review which is held by a judge. If we win, it will overturn the Appeal Inspectorate’s decision – and that decision will have to be reviewed at a new hearing.)

Please help us by donating urgently on GOFUNDME. Any donation, large or small will help us.

Thank you so much for your support – it is much appreciated.
