<p><b>Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem</b> in <a href="/pages/w/106139002750177">Nottingham</a> is one of the 20 <a href="/pages/w/103127106394243">public house</a>s including <a href="/pages/w/102583456464992">Ye Olde Salutation Inn</a> and <a href="/pages/w/139219622763815">The Bell Inn</a> also in Nottingham, and <a href="/pages/w/143575035655465">Ye Olde Fighting Cocks</a> in <a href="/pages/w/108090075885980">St Albans</a>, which claim to be the oldest drinking establishment in <a href="/pages/w/105955176103450">England</a>. Its painted sign states that it was established in 1189 AD. However, there is no documentation to verify this date, and the main building, built on the foundations of earlier constructions, is about three hundred years old.</p><p><i>The Trip</i> (as it is known locally) is at the foot of Castle Rock in <a href="/pages/w/137296489625030">Nottingham's City Centre</a>. According to local legend it takes its name from the 12th Century <a href="/pages/w/108708752486226">Crusades</a> to the <a href="/pages/w/104100179626890">Holy Land</a>: legend has it that knights who answered the calls of <a href="/pages/w/102896496419039">Richard I</a> to join the crusades stopped off at this watering hole for a <a href="/pages/w/109331062419023">pint</a> on their way to <a href="/pages/w/108300522531552">Jerusalem</a>. It is even claimed that Richard himself frequented the pub although this is probably merely legend as the king spent little time in the country. However, the word "trip" in the pub's name does not mean an entire journey; it derives from an older meaning of the word: a stop <i>during</i> a journey (i.e. "break in the journey to the Holy Land"). Others say that the pub takes its name from a religious group called the <a href="/pages/w/109378919088176">Philadelphians</a> who used to meet in Brewhouse Yard (but this does not fully explain the name).</p>
