[1] It was built in the early 19th century and is named (along with several other English pubs) after General Sir Charles James Napier (1782-1853).

[3] Kaye Griffiths' family had been farmers in Chinnor for two generations.

His father bought the pub, which abuts the family's land, in the 1960s for £4,000, and put Kaye's wife, Julie, whose parents had been in the hotel trade, in charge.

[3] In the middle 1990s Kaye became estranged from Julie, and in 1996 he renovated and moved into a cowshed near to the Inn with his son, transferring his interest in the business to his wife.

[4] For 10 years the restaurant was run by Stan Parkes, who was then replaced in 1987 by Caroline, Julie's daughter.
