The Kings Arms - Strand St - Sandwich, Kent - Pictorial Pub Signs on Waymarking.com

"The Inn itself dates back to early Tudor times and was first recorded as being known as the Queen Arms. Indeed the cast iron plaque on the front of the building depicts the royal coat of arms of Elizabeth I (1558 – 1603).

Elizabeth herself visited Sandwich in 1573 and stayed opposite the inn at Kings Lodgings, built for her father, Henry VIII.
The depiction of Pan on the corner of the building was carved during Elizabeth’s reign and is dated 1592.

It was during the reign of James II in 1687 that the inn changed name to the Kings Arms.

Through the 1700’s and into the 1800’s the inn was a well known coaching house within the historic town."
