In 1891 the petty sessional divisional records list the beerhouse without having a name. The Fox & Hounds was located on the north side of the minor road that runs between Wickwar and Hawkesbury. The building is now a private house with modern extensions called Tally Ho with nothing to indicate that it was ever a public house.
