Victoria Arms, Marston

The Victoria Arms (known locally, the "Vicky Arms") is a public house on the eastern bank of the River Cherwell at the end of Mill Lane close to Old Marston, northeast of Oxford, England.[1][2]

The pub is frequented by people out punting during the summer.[3] It is possible to moor punts in the grounds of the pub.

The Victoria Arms featured in the Inspector Morse television series a number of times. Most notably, Morse recited part of the A. E. Houseman poem How Clear, How Lovely Bright here in the final episode of the series.[4] A line from the poem was used for the title of the episode, The Remorseful Day.
