King George III of Great Britain of the United Kingdom

Photograph at the King George III of Great Britain of the United Kingdom black plaque

The Kings Arms This historic 16th century inn had Georgian renovations in the 18th century and a Victorian attic in the 19th century. King George III stayed in Weymouth in 1789, on doctors orders. He was taken across the Esplanade by a horse drawn bathing machine and a small orchestra would play "God save the King" as he stepped into the water. Today the Kings Arms extends a Royal Welcome to One & All.
