Staff celebrated the reopening of a historic pub by burying a time capsule.
The former Grapes pub on the Oxford-Woodstock road at Yarnton is now known as the Turnpike Inn, after a £1m three-month refurbishment.
Licensees Stacy and James Platford appealed to customers to help them with compile a history of the pub.
Artefacts gathered through the appeal were put in the capsule which was buried in the pub garden.
Mr Platford said: "We now know that the building dates back to the 1750s. It was owned by John Evetts and was run by a William Tubb. The inn was known as the Grapes in the late 18th century but before this, it was referred to as the Bunch of Grapes."
