This was the original village pub, the 'Green Man' which stands directly outside the entrance to the church in the corner in the village.
When Mad Jack approached the vicar to get permission to build the pyramid mausoleum, the vicar only gave permission if Jack paid to move the pub to a new position at Oxley Green about 1/2 mile away from the church. This was to prevent the congregation and bell ringers escaping from the long sermon's to the pub for a drink, then sneaking back in to be seen at the end of the sermon.
The new Fullers Arms pub at Oxley Green was far enough away to make it difficult to get there and back in the space of a sermon.
The 'Green Man' is a now a private residence and there is no public access.
