The New Inn was once tied to the Stow Brewery. For many years it had the distinction of being the only Morrells of Oxford tied house in Gloucestershire. The pub was sold as a free house on 27th March 2002. For a while it re-established itself as a gastro-pub, renamed the Westcote Inn. After a period of closure it reopened again as a pub in the summer of 2010.
It is now called the Feathered Nest, a country pub-restaurant.
