The name has its origins in an abbreviation of the name of the insignia belonging to the "Noble Order of the Garter", which is the highest heraldic order that the British monarch can bestow. The star is eight pointed, although the one in the background on this sign has five points. The name is not uncommon for pubs and inns. Other photographs:- Image
