There are a few other threads about cloning this beer and/or culturing their yeast. You could ask jonnyhop how his recipe turned out.
viewtopic.php?f=5&p=220044
viewtopic.php?f=12&t=17230

Here's my recommendation, which should get you extremely close. The original is all organic, so obtain organic hops and malts if possible. If not, non-organic versions should taste the same:

SEYMOUR BRAKSPEAR OXFORD GOLD (BOTTLE) CLONE
all-grain recipe
6 US gal = 5 Imperial gal = 22.7 L

FERMENTABLES:
92.3% = 9 lbs = 4 kg, Organic "Plumage Archer" malt (but any British 2-row pale malt i.e. Maris Otter will suffice)
7.7% = 12 oz = .75 lb = 340 g, Organic British crystal malt

HOPS:
.75 oz = 21 g, Organic Target (11.5 AA%), 90 min remaining
1 oz = 28 g, Organic Goldings (5 AA%), 5 min remaining, then allow to steep awhile before chilling and straining

Single-step mash @ 151°F/66°C for 90 min or until converted.
90 minute boil
Irish moss added near end of boil.

YEAST:
True Brakspear strain: cultured from bottle-conditioned beers, and almost certainly White Labs WLP023 and Wyeast 1275

Prime with ½ cup sugar, boiled with a bit of water.
Condition 1 week at fermentation temperature, then 3 weeks at 50-60°F/10-16°C.

Stats assume = 78% mash efficiency and 75% yeast attenuation:
OG: 1.048
FG: 1.012
ABV: 4.6% (which is bottled version; cask is only 4%)
IBU: 31
Color: 8°SRM/16°EBC
