1872 The building was owned by Mr. King of Waddesdon and the "off premises" license was held by Mrs. Elizabeth Bunce. [4]  There were no similarly licensed properties in the parish at the time.

1871 (Census) William Bunce (50)  is the shop keeper, his wife Ann (48, nee Atkins) is a Plaiter).

1883 Though we can find Elizabeth Bunce listed as a beer retailer in directories from 1869, the last entry we can find for her is 1883. The Bunce family are still landlords at The Five Bells and later The Vine. The shop however is listed as a grocer after this date.
