The Jolly Farmer has been a pub since 1639 and was a popular haunt during WWII for Battle of Britain air crews in 1940. The siren used to scramble the air crews is still in the grounds. Evidently, Jolly Farmer is a corruption of the "Golden Farmer", the nickname of a wealthy Bagshot man called William Davis (1627-90), who allegedly accrued his riches as a footpad, not a farmer. His notoriety prompted many 18th century pubs to honour him in their name/sign.
