Final phase of the pub at time of closure	Picture source: Google Streetview
The Chequers Inn was situated at 113-115 High Street. This pub was present by 1630 and closed in 1910. The Chequers Inn occupied all three buildings in the photo below, it gradually reduced until only the right most building with the dormers remained when it closed in 1910. The two left hand buildings were used as retail and a bakery at various points. All Soul’s College Oxford owned the land from at least 1593. In 1809 it was sold to Mark and James Morrell, brewers “Morrell’s”. When Halls Oxford Brewer purchased most Wheatley pubs in 1907 this one seems to have missed out and been quickly sold out of the trade.
