The Fox Goes Free is a grade II listed pub in Charlton, West Sussex, England.
[1] On 9 November 1915 the inn was the venue for the first Women's Institute (WI) meeting held in England, after the first meeting in Wales on 16 September of that year.
This was the inaugural meeting of the Singleton and East Dean WI (still in existence in 2015[2]), and the landlady of the pub, Mrs Laishley, was a founder member.
[1][3] On 9 November 2015 the Fox's entry in the National Heritage List for England was updated to include the WI connection, as were records for three other buildings of WI significance.
