No date has yet been set for the start of refurbishment work on a famous Oxford pub devastated in a blaze.
In May, pub goers were told it could take up to 18 months to fully refurbish The Perch in Binsey following the serious fire.
The blaze ripped through the thatched roof of the popular pub, severely damaging the roof and the interior.
More than 100 firefighters worked through the night to tackle the fire last month, which was blamed on a chimney flue. Fire investigators ruled the blaze was accidental and are now liaising with insurers of the pub, which is owned by the Oxford University college Christ Church.
Oliver Fursdon, rural surveyor for Savills in Oxford, agents for Christ Church, said: "Work has been carried out to secure the building but no building work has started yet.
"We are going to be in a position to start sooner rather than later but no date has been set yet."
