The King appears to be Henry VIII, but whether the pub dates back to that time is probably unlikely. At first glance, it can look as if Henry is wearing glasses, but this seems to be due to a layer of paint wearing off in places. The sign has probably been repainted many times over the years, but currently it is looking quite faded. Image
