West Berkshire Council states that there has been a Gun pub on the site since before 1755. Treat as 'known before 1755', not as an opening date. The current building was rebuilt in 1880-81.

CAMRA states that the pub traded under its present name from 1761. Do not discard the stronger local-authority statement that a Gun pub existed on the site before 1755.
