Griffin - there have been three versions of this pub in the High Street (nos. 69, 92 and 77 in that chronological order). The last of them (number 77) was still trading in 1928 but I don't know for how long after that. I think it ceased to be a pub before WWII and the building was demolished in the 1960s. ***
