The former Horn Inn is now a house called 'Hillside'.
A local resident recalls celebrating VE Day (the end of WW2 in Europe) at the Horn in 1945, and it must have ceased trading as a pub after that date. We know that around that time the owners Morland Brewery decided that it was not feasible to run two pubs in the village and The Horn was sold.
The building dates from the mid to late 18th Century and is made from coursed limestone rubble with a late 19th tile roof.
It is thought that the name and sign are derived from the legend of the Pusey Horn. This legend goes as follows: "the Saxon inhabitants of Uffington Castle travelled 6 miles to raid Cherbury Camp, where King Canute and his invading army were encamped. However, a young shepherd boy spotted them and blew his horn as a warning to the Danes. The shepherd boy was rewarded for his vigilance with a commission in the King’s Army and all the land within the sound of his horn around Pusey".
