Russell Brand’s old pub to reopen under new ownership after years of abandonment
Russell Brand’s old pub to reopen under new ownership after years of abandonment

Russell Brand's former pub is set to be given new life under different ownership after the convicted rapist left it abandoned for more than five years.

The 600-year-old Crown Inn, in Pishill, Oxfordshire, was sold to new owners in April for £975,000, and is now due to reopen next month.

Brand had unsuccessfully attempted to convert the property into a recording studio and community space, but was refused permission by the council following backlash from villagers.
