It is with understandable sadness that I learnt Mike Brincklow had died last Friday at Worthing. Mike was a popular publican, the White Horse at Headington (1970’s), the Wagon & Horses at Culham, the Lamb & flag at Longworth and most recently at the Horse and Jockey, Woodstock road. When the Horse and Jockey was closed, Michael returned to being a gardener as well as an excellent handyman. RIP Michael. x

The Horse and Jockey was about 300 metres from the Rose and Crown at 69 Woodstock Road, Oxford. It was operated by Buccaneer Taverns from Cheltenham. It closed in 2002 and was converted into flats.

BRINCKLOW, Michael John, passed away peacefully in Worthing, West Sussex on the 13^th of October 2017 aged 73. Loving father to Rachel and Richard and grandfather to Freya, Evie, Tammas, Oscar, Henry and Isaac. Funeral service will be held on Tuesday, 24^th October at 2pm, Woodvale Crematorium, Lewes Road, Brighton, BN2 3QB. Messages to Rachel and Richard Brincklow c/o Rose and Crown, 14, North Parade Avenue, OX2 6LX. Flowers to Jefferies Funeral Directors, 15 Carlton Terrace, Portslade, East Sussex, BN41 1XF.
