The "Cock", a coaching inn dating back to around 1300 but rebuilt in 1750 after a fire,
has been doubly immortalised through its name. The nursery rhyme "Ride a Cock horse to Banbury
Cross" is said to refer to a horse from the Cock's stables.
And the phrase "a Cock and Bull story" is believed to derive from the exchanges of sometimes exaggerated news from passengers of the forty or more mail coaches which at one time called daily here, and at the Bull Hotel just up the High Street. |
