Introduction
With it's Northern Renaissance and Queen Anne influence 'The Star & Garter' was first noted on the Map of Putney in 1787 and has undergone many transformations over the years.
Originally built as a hotel for the use of the boating and sailing community, which governed the area. In approximately 1870 The Star & Garter even had a boathouse on the ground floor.
In local history the Star & Garter is mentioned many times. On the 16th February 1889 it is said that eight men met at The Star & Garter and resolved to form the Ranelagh Sailing club as a spur from the Ranelagh Yachting club, which was favoured by King Charles II.
The name 'Star & Garter' relates to the Order of the Garter.
The Star, which is worn pinned to the left breast, was introduced in the 17th century by King Charles 1 and is a colourfully enamelled depiction of the heraldic shield of St George's Cross, encircled by the Garter, which is itself encircled by an eight-point silver badge. Each point is depicted as a cluster of rays, with the four points of the cardinal directions longer than the intermediate ones.
Since the Order of the Garter is the senior order of the United Kingdom, a member will wear its star above the others (up to three) that he or she holds.
The Garter is worn on ceremonial occasions around the left calf by knights and around the left arm by ladies, and is depicted on several insignia. The Garter is a buckled dark-blue (originally light-blue) velvet strap, and bears the motto in gold letters. The garters of Stranger Knights and Ladies were once set with several jewels.
