It appears to have become a pub in early 1820 very soon after Jacob Hoar became the occupier, perhaps cashing in on the trade of the recently opened Wey and Arun canal. He named the inn after his landlord, Denzil Onslow, the owner of the Drungewick Manor estate.

Perhaps some of your readers may remember the mid-twentieth century licensees: John Phillips, Hugh Goddard or Francis and Hilda Law, who ran the pub in the 1960s and 1970s when it was a King and Barnes house.
