If this is in Hambleden, I missed it... It's Dorney Court, near Windsor, as indeed are captures 13-15, with thanks to Steve Cook.

I'm guessing that pub is called The White Feathers or The Feathers. Another victim staggers out... Yes once Chalfont St Giles was established, it is The Feathers on the north side of High Street.
Currently under scaffold and being transformed into more of a restaurant but retaining the name of Feathers. SJ
