The Ship, Ship Lane, Lower End, Marsworth
The Ship, Ship Lane, Lower End, Marsworth
Grade II Listed 17th century former public house and shop. Canal side pubs generate many tales including here rumours of highwaymen bedding down for the evening. Information on the pub is thin on the ground but in 1941 a Bucks Herald obituary refers to a Mr Alfred Bird who had resided with his sister 'of the "Ship" Inn'. Searching directories under Marsworth (aka Masworth) I find no Ship but perhaps it is just listed as beer retailer, 1853 two beer retailers Thomas Lines and Robert Russell (& shopkeeper), 1876 John Jellis beer retailer (& grocer & coal merchant), 1883 two beer retailers George and John Jellis (George is John’s son and pubwiki lists John at the Ship from 1864 to 1891 when he’s shown as a publican in the census), 1899-1903 John Smith beer retailer and 1907-1915 Thomas Chamberlain beer retailer. Before 1853 Ma(r)sworth is not in my directories.
