The building dates from the late 18th century. The pub was originally a wooden hut on another site (possibly Gaymer's Lane). The name was changed from the New Inn to remember Thomas Cavendish, who was born in Trimley St Martin and in May 1588 was the first man to command a ship that deliberately circumnavigated the world (previous circumnavigators had done so accidentally). It was apparently renamed to celebrate his return to Trimley from his circumnavigation.

It was renamed from the Three Mariners to the Mariners Free House in September 2015, when it passed into new ownership.

Historic Interest

The 1904 Woodbridge licensing records show that the Three Mariners' license was issued in 1853. Whether this was when it was first licensed or when it got a full (ie not just beer) license isn't clear, though the latter seems more probable. Apparently the current building isn't the original one; it's thought that it used to stand "on the High Road near Station Road". The license probably moved after the original building was burned down. Up until the Second World War, the pub's sign was a lifebelt hanging from a jacket.

The pub was damaged by fire during the afternoon of September 25th 2020. It had to close temporarily, but subsequently reopened on Friday October 9th.
