Reg Cundick and Danny Howell, writing about The Roebuck public house, in the book The Inns & Taverns Of Warminster, published in November 1987, stated:
The Roebuck is recorded by both Daniell and Halliday. The latter says it was in existence in 1740 at Chain Street [now George Street]. Halliday also records that, in about 1830, it was known as The White Hart.
