Full Description
There has been a pub on this site since at least 1822, originally known as the Fox Hotel. The present building by Samuel Needham was built for the Tadcaster Brewery Company in 1900. The name was changed to Fox & Roman to commemorate a Roman grave found on the site in 1998. The building still retains original internal and external features, like the half-timbered frontage and balustraded balcony. The outbuildings with original half doors, were formerly used for stabling racehorses. The public house has great historic significance due to its association with the races, and unique evidential value through its association with Roman remains. It is still a favoured communal asset.
