129A: Wheatsheaf
The Wheatsheaf is behind No. 129 High Street in the Wheatsheaf Yard, and is reached by the narrow passage between Nos. 127 and 129. It used to be a Morrell’s pub, but is now owned by the Whitbread Brewery.
This building is first recorded as an inn in 1662, when it was called the Hen & Chicken. It was not known as the Wheatsheaf until 1761.
