The North Arms was situated on Mills Lane. This was a grade-II listed Greene King pub at the time of its closure in 2013. It was sold to Wroxton College.
Review from tantallon.org.uk:
Outside the entrance to Wroxton Abbey, which is currently occupied by Fairleigh Dickinson University of Noo Joizy. Transatlantic geography is different,you know. Over here, Wroxton is just outside Banbury. Over there, Wroxton is twelve miles away from Stratford-on-Avon. The pub has been, on first inspection, left pretty unscathed by Morrells. The signage outside is about the only indication, though the jugs inside the back door are a bit suspect. Big doggy back garden with benches. Lots of people being served food out in it. Huge plates of chips ferried past where I was drinking the apricot wine. It was Lord North who lost America, you know. (2002-05-19)
