Originally called the Punch Bowl and first licensed in 1792.

In 1821, it was altered when Postern Gate was demolished to improve the route from New Road. In the rear buildings ‘Cart’ Williams had many horses stabled.

Bridgnorth was the rallying point of King Henry IV’s troops before the battle of Shrewsbury. It is believed the pub changed its name from the Punch Bowl to the Shakespeare due to Shakespeares play, The First Part of King Henry IV:

"On Wednesday next, Harry, thou shalt set forward; On Thursday, we ourselves will march: Our meeting is Bridgnorth; and, Harry, you shall march through Glostershire; by which account our business valued, some twelve days hence our general forces at Bridgnorth shall meet."
