It's shown as the White Hart on this OS town plan from 1881 (larger map).
The 1904 Woodbridge licensing records show that the White Horse's license was issued in 1853. This is not the first time a licence was issued for this pub which dates back to at least the 1730s but Whether this was when it was first full (ie not just beer) license isn't clear. The pub is now St Mary's House.
The pub is shown as the White Hart on the 1881 OS Town Plan.
The license was expired in 1907 as part of a scheme to reduce the number of alcohol licenses.
