The Lamb & Flag, on St Giles' in Oxford which is also owned by St John's College. This pub has been in existence as an alehouse since 1695 and was named after the two symbols of John the Baptist – a lamb and a flag. Brewery-owned between 1829 and 1999, the college now offers financial support to DPhil students from the pub's profits.
The pub had been part of an endowment belonging to University College since the 17th century. The college placed it on the market for £1.2 million in December 2003, saying that it needed to rebalance its property portfolio. It was bought by the nearby St John's College, which also owns the Lamb and Flag pub opposite. [5]
