Description

Painted brick with slate roof. 2-3 storeys in height and curved to follow the road layout. Appears to be nineteenth-century but developer says it is a ‘much earlier’ building that has been extended several times. Window openings have been raised, basement windows added and all windows replaced. Main door has been removed and replaced with a small window - it was previously above street-level and reached by a flight of seven stairs.
Historically in Radclive parish but moved to Buckingham in 1934. In 1872 it was said to have been licensed for over 50 years but is not included in 1828 or earlier listings. First reference found is in 1851 census (Source: D J Elliott, 1975 'Buckingham: The Loyal and Ancient Borough') (B1).
