The Ship is a Grade II listed building. It dates from the 17C and became an alehouse in the mid 18thC. In that era it was host to several singing and bell-ringing competitions, which ended in 1791 when only one entrant for each turned up.
It was one of the main bases for the stagecoach trade to London from the late 18thC to the mid 19thC, when the railways put an end to that mode of transport.
No reason is known why an inn so far from the sea was called The Ship.
