Not to be. After yet another spell as a Thai restaurant the place finally closed its doors.

The Reformation Public House

The Reformation

The wide open windows , the drinkers outside and the flowers in the garden show that it is a warm summers day at this pub in Gallowtrees Common.

Pub Sign at The Reformation

The pub sign of this Brakspears pub in Gallowtrees Common appears to show an 17th C or 18th C sailing ship. I could find no record of a navy ship called "The Reformation" although there was a ship called the Constant Reformation which was built in 1619 and joined the royalist cause in the Civil War in 1649 but was lost in 1651. The boat in the pub sign is visually similar to the appearance of the ship "Constant Reformation".
