The Greyhounds Head was situated at 29 Henley Street. This pub is now in residential use.
The Grade II listing defines this house built around 1600 as a former inn and formally listed as Henley House. The 1945, 'A History of the County of Warwick: Volume 3: Barlichway hundred' states that the Red Horse Inn was formerly the Greyhound's Head. The first mention of the Greyhound occurs in 1670. However in an 1828 directory the two inns co-existed. As 25 and 27 appear to have been the Red Horse the 1945 history must be incorrect and this was only ever the Grounds Head or Just Greyhound in the directories I have that seem to indicate it closed early in the 20th century. Directory entries for the Greyhound include; 1828 Samuel Foxall; 1830-1842 Joseph Foxall; 1850 George Allwood; 1896 James Welch; 1912-1914 unable to locate.'
