The Raven was situated on Bricks Lane, Beacons Bottom. This pub originated in the mid-17th century, when a small cottage was built in the centre of the tiny hamlet of Beacon’s Bottom, near Studley Green; a second cottage was added a century or so later with various other additions after that. It became a beerhouse sometime in the middle of the 19th century, owned latterly by the High Wycombe brewers Wheeler & Co, but had to surrender its licence in 1921 when a number of public houses in the county were forced to close. It then split into two cottages again, one of which achieved brief fame when it was bought by the comedienne/actress Dora Bryan in the 1950s. It reverted to one house around 1956.
