180px-the_bear_at_home_north_moreton_-_geograph.org.uk_-_921661The Bear at Home is a 16th-century public house in the South Oxfordshire (England) village of North Moreton, near Wallingford. It retains many original 16th-century features, including timber-framed walls, inglenook fireplace and a well, but was extended sympathetically in 1980 to allow it to serve food. New features include a minstrel's gallery above the bar, which is almost certainly unique. In 2007, the Freehouse was voted the best pub in Oxfordshire by CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale)[1] members, and its range of locally produced real ales, ensures it is a regular entry in the Good Beer Guide.

As recently as 1930, there were four pubs in this small village, serving a population of about 400 people[2] but The Bear at Home is now the only remaining outlet. It overlooks the village green, home of Moreton Cricket Club (M.C.C), founded in 1858, a thriving club in this desirable commuter village, with members of all ages and ability; the pub has close ties with the cricket club, and is MCC's unofficial clubhouse.
