The pub has been operating here since 1566, when Queen Elizabeth I was on the throne. The building has undoubtedly changed considerably since then. Over the years it has had various names. In the 18th century its names included the Red Lyon, The Ship, The White Lyon and the King's Arms. By the 19th century it has reverted to The Ship, and by 1900 it was known by its present name, possibly to distinguish it from at least one other Ship in the Guildford area. Image Image
