Marmaduke Dent is listed as the last licence in 1935, however, his son
Leonard Cyril Marmaduke Dent took the licence after he left the London Fire
Brigade at the end of WW2. In those days the pub was owned by Simmons
Brewery of Reading. My wife’s father left the pub during 1961 to take the
licence of The Black Lion in the near village of Naphill. After leaving the
Coach and Horses 2/3 people took it until it was demolished to make way for
Wycombes by-pass. *
