George & Dragon Pub
UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP!
In May 2024 we welcomed Stuart and Carol to the village as our new landlords for the George & Dragon pub.
They very generously invited Shutford residents to a soft-opening on 4th May, whilst they await confirmation of their licence, and the villagers turned out in force. We were joined by their long-time friend and actor Ian McDiarmid, who has played The Emperor in the Star Wars series since he was cast by George Lucas in 1983’s Return of the Jedi - so the 4th really was with us!
You can read more about the event, which raised £1358.02 for Katherine House Hospice, in the Banbury Guardian.
We look forward to the official opening very soon.

Shutford Table Tennis Club
Shutford Bookworms

You may be aware that Shutford has had a thriving book club for some time, but they are currently full and unable to add new members. See their book reviews here.
Having put a call out to get expressions of interest and see if we can get a second club up and running, we had the first meeting of the Shutford Bookworms at the end of January 2023. The group will be meeting once every 4-6 weeks taking turns to host in our homes - so numbers will need to be limited, but we could squeeze a couple more in. If you are interested, please drop an email to [email protected] |

Let’s do what we can to keep Shutford beautiful, green, and safe for all of us, including animals and wildlife.
Thanks very much to everyone, young and old, for helping to pick litter on Sunday 2 April, and to Bill for collecting large items in his Land Rover.
We collected a lot, but sadly littering seems to be a permanent issue.
Think about taking a bin bag with you when you are out walking so that we can try to keep litter under control.
Fly tipping can be reported to Cherwell Fly Tipping.
Polite reminder for dog owners
There have been various complaints about the behaviour of dogs, and their owners, so please:
- Always keep your dogs under control, and particularly so when lambs are in fields. Put your dog on a lead if you can’t control it. Pick up your dog poo and put in the dog poo bins. There are poo bags available in various locations, please use these if needed, but don’t take them all!
