,Information about the origins of the present building, taken from Jackson's Oxford Journal of 15 December 1900, added

The present building dates from 1900, when it was was known as the new Elm Tree Inn. It was designed by Henry Thomas Hare (the same Paris-trained architect who won the competition to design Oxford's Town Hall). It was built at this angle so that the ancient elm tree that stood in the road could be spared. This was continued as the 'Elm Tree' pub during the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. A photo by Martin Stott is shown to the right.
Joe Ryan, an Oxford landlord well known for encouraging Irish folk music, ran this pub in the 1990s after moving from the Bullingdon (No 162) and before moving to the Half Moon in St Clements
