Entry in Get Bucks 24 May 2011: "A Once popular pub in Chalfont St Giles is being turned into a veterinary surgery. The Pheasant, which was also once known as Cape Fish, is currently being renovated by Wheelhouse Veterinary Centre and is due to open in August this year. The pub, which is on the A413, was popular for a number of years but has been closed since 2008 and has fallen into disrepair. The inside of the building was left to ruin and thieves stole some sections of the roof, meaning that sections of the site became flooded. [...] A statement on Wheelhouse's website said: "In recent times it has been abandoned suffering neglect through lack of ownership and with rubbish being left in the car park and lead stolen from the roof creating water damage."
Caroline Fox was the wife of Alfred Luff, my half first cousin twice removed.
