The pub sign of this Brakspears pub in Gallowtrees Common appears to show an 17th C or 18th C sailing ship. I could find no record of a navy ship called "The Reformation" although there was a ship called the Constant Reformation which was built in 1619 and joined the royalist cause in the Civil War in 1649 but was lost in 1651. The boat in the pub sign is visually similar to the appearance of the ship "Constant Reformation".
