Nailsea's famous pub dates from the eighteenth century, and retains some of its original features. An oak does indeed stand at its entrance! Most pubs of this name refer to the occasion in 1651 when the future Charles II was on the run from the Roundheads and sought cover in an oak tree after the battle of Worcester.
