The Greyhound on the St Mary's side of the High Street was preceded on the site by other hostelries. The earliest found was the Maid's Head (or Maidenhead). Confusingly there was an earlier Greyhound on the All Saints side of the High Street, which seems to have disappeared, subsumed into the King's Palace opposite. Peter May (1600-1760) records that John Archer bequeathed the poor of St.Mary's Parish a case of red herrings on the 1st Sunday in Lent and 62 Band Faggots on the first working day after Christmas, payable out of the Maidenhead Inn
This was followed by Jarvis's Hotel during some of the period in that family's ownership. 1896 the Greyhound was demolished and a very large new hotel built. Rebuilding of the old Greyhound Hotel, now Victoria Hotel, High St, for Reilly & Co (Walter Emden, 105-106 Strand, London WC) (Bury St Edmunds Records Office) EF 506/6/1/1/21,23 Oct 1896.
