In 1663, the landlord of this pub was rewarded by Charles II for giving support to his executed father and his royalist supporters - The Cavaliers.
During the Civil War, the pub had been used as a mustering place by King Charles I, where his personal standard had been raised to draw royalist supporters in fighting for his cause against the Parliamentarians –The Roundheads. Charles II honoured the landlord by agreeing to change the name of the pub from The Ship to “The Royal Standard of England ”, the only pub in the country with the honour of the full title.
