Possesive case with plural
I would like to be sure about the correct usage of possesive case in the name of a house
"At the Three Ravens´"
The owners use this version: "At the Three Raven´s", which, I suppose, is not right...
Thank you for any help.

If the possessive were required, then it would be Ravens' (because it is plural: 3 Ravens) As it is, this comes under the category of Greengrocers' Apostrophe: Lettuces' : 75c Potatoes' : 30c lb It should be: At the Three Ravens.
