Historic landlord listing and history timeline.
1775- Earliest date I know that it existed. William Glover possibly landlord.
1791- coaching inn. Stop between Wallingford and London.
1797-1800 ran by James Morgan. Used for Turnpike Trust meeting 1797. James was probably the "J Morgan" who had the Hurley tollgate in 1792. James died and in his will proved 1800 left his ale house business (but does not seem to own the actual building) to his wife Ann for her life then to their son William. There were other children too.

More Hurley pub history and landlord listings in the future. We have a large number of similar posts for pubs in Marlow, Little Marlow, Medmenham and Lane End (all Buckinghamshire) plus a few for the Hurley pubs we have already featured. These are all listed here.
Our main focus is Marlow on this blog but we do cover places like Hurley because of frequent connection between them and Marlow. For a list of Hurley, Harleyford and Temple related posts see here
