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.

The pub is shown on this old OS map from about 1902 (interactive map)
A reference apears in the Ipswich Journal, September 7th 1728*** to Hunter? Cooper at the Three Mariners in Trimly
At Mariners Inn, Trimley: A Fat Ox, to be raffled for, on Monday 14 January 1850. Subscribers, half a Guinea each. Ipswich Journal, Jan 1850**
The 1904 Woodbridge licensing records show that the Three Mariners' full license was issued in 1853. Prior to that it was probably just a beerhouse.
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.
