The Royal Standard of England is a pub in Forty Green. It is reputedly the Oldest Freehouse in England, dating as far back as 1100.[1] Known as The Ship from 1213 to 1663, it adopted its current name when the restored monarch Charles II allowed the name change as a reward for offering the supporters of his father, Charles I, a safe haven during the English Civil War; hence the name of one of the rooms within the establishment, the Lower King Charles room. Charles II is thought to have stayed at the inn with a mistress.[2] A popular filming location, TV Afterlife 3 by Ricky Gervais and it has appeared in several films such as Hot Fuzz and The Theory of Everything.[3][4] UK's best-selling author of the 1990s, Terry Pratchett, grew up in Forty Green[5]
