“A meadow named after two inns, which later inspired another pub?” a visitor might ask, baffled. We stand here at the Angel & Greyhound Meadow, a verdant expanse nestled beside the River Cherwell. Its name, a curious echo of Oxford’s past, connects us to a time of bustling coaching inns and horse-drawn carriages. This meadow, also known simply as Angel Meadow, was once a horse pasture for the Angel and Greyhound coaching inns on the High Street. These inns, long gone, lent their names to this peaceful stretch of land. Their legacy continues, not just in the meadow’s name but also in a pub located in St Clement’s. This modern Angel & Greyhound pub stands as a testament to this quirky historical chain. The meadow itself, a low-lying area prone to flooding, especially in February and March, offers a tranquil escape from the city’s hustle. Imagine the horses grazing here centuries ago, their hooves softening the earth we stand on. The Angel & Greyhound Meadow, a quiet haven, holds within it a piece of Oxford’s vibrant history. A place where names and legacies intertwine, a testament to the city’s ever-evolving story.
