Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem is a Grade II listed[1] public house in Nottingham which claims to have been established in 1189,[2] although there is no documentation to verify this date.
The current name is believed to come from the belief that pilgrims or crusaders would stop at the inn on their journey to Jerusalem.
[3] The pub claims that it was established in 1189 AD – the year that Richard the Lionheart became king and Pope Gregory VIII called for a Third Crusade to the Holy Land; however, there is no documentation to verify this date.
[5] By 1751 the building was being used as an inn with the name The Pilgrim, and was shortly after that date purchased by William Standford.
[2] The first record of the use of the name Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem dates from 1799.
