Trip to Jerusalem

You barge into: Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem Pub

Presiding Ghost, Friar Tuck

***

"the last letter of the
Name has been written"

Ah, we are here, having a pint at the Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem Pub! As we look around at the old banknotes on the wall, see the ancient rooms carved right into the rock below Nottingham Castle, we can believe that this pub was established in 1189, the date that King Richard I the Lionheart was crowned. On some nights, the pub was filled with Richard's knights, assembling to set forth to the Holy Land. Later, in the reign of "Bad" King John, (after 1199) it was not unlikely that Robin and Friar Tuck would stop by in starlight, as we have, to see what mischief was afoot. The origin of the word "Trip" comes from the old English "trip" or "trypp" - meaning to halt or stop. And so we shall, for a while, to see if we experience any of the strange events that have been reported here: soldiers walking though walls, glasses flying off the shelves, strange letters of a Name appearing out of nowhere.

About the Pub

1 Brewhouse Yard, Castle Road, City Centre. Totally unique public house. Reputed to be the oldest inn in England (CE 1189). A unique pub hewn out of the castle rock. Adorning the bar area is a collection of foreign bank notes. This is well worth a visit.
