The (Old) Bear was built as farm house in the 15th or early 16th century and became a public house during the 18th century. The earliest recorded reference to the Bear is in a deed dated 1719 when Mary King of Cobham, widow, and John King her eldest son conveyed to Robert Patten of Ham, near Kingston, yeoman, 'All That freehold Messuage or Tenement or Inne situate and being in Coveham also Cobham aforesaid commonly called or known by the Signe of the Beare in or neare a certain street there called Church Street '.
