The ‘old star’ is said to be King Charles I. The Cromwellians used the tenth century cellar as a hospital and a mortuary during the Civil War."<br /> As an ex-licensee of Ye Olde Starre Inne, 70s and 80s, I know the inn was in existence in 1580 and not new then. Not named after King Charles I as he had not yet been born in 1580 when the inn was already named the Starre. Also the York Archaeologist tells me, having inspected the cellars, it is relatively modern and not in existence in 1644. Sorry to have to shoot your narrative down in flames but the truth will out!CRowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11802972566202428241noreply@blogger.com
