The Barley Mow, Clifton Hampden

The Barley Mow is a historic public house, just south of the River Thames near the bridge at Clifton Hampden, Oxfordshire, England.

[5] According to the Thames Pilot, The Barley Mow was described in Parker's notes (1911):[6] Its high overhanging roof is thatched, and its walls are half timbered.

The brick floored kitchen, or may be a parlour, is delightfully snug, and the walls are darkly panelled all round.

This Hotel has been enlarged to meet modern requirements but the additional part is not shown as it spoils the effect.The Barley Mow is currently run by Greene King, a large UK chain of pubs, restaurants and inns which operates the Barley Mow under their "Chef & Brewer" brand.

Its low-pitched gables and thatched roof and latticed windows give it quite a story-book appearance, while inside it is even still more once-upon-a-timeyfied.It is also mentioned in the 1883 The Dictionary of the Thames by Charles Dickens, Jr., who notes that:[8] ...although the house is primitive, and the entertainment unpretending, it is a capital little inn of its class, and may be recommended to all boating men.
