About
Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem at the foot of Nottingham Castle's sandstone cliff claims (disputedly) to be England's oldest pub, dating its sign to 1189 when Crusaders supposedly stopped here on their way to the Holy Land. The upper rooms are carved into the castle rock; the cursed galleon model in the Rock Lounge has reputedly killed three people who tried to clean it.

From the Wikipedia article
Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem is a Grade II listed public house in Nottingham, England, which claims to have been established in 1189, although there is no documentation to verify this date. The building rests against Castle Rock, upon which Nottingham Castle is built, and is attached to several caves, carved out of the soft sandstone. These were reputedly originally used as a brewhouse for the castle, dating from the medieval period.
