This is one of two boards on the external walls of the White Hart. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2468776 It records the tolls payable for using the road in the 16th century. At that time, the White Hart was a coaching inn and toll house. It may be a fairly recent recreation of an older sign, based on the modern-day spellings (though the use of capital letters appears idiosyncratic, with horse or Horse and Score or score used). Or it may be from perhaps the 18th century, if the tolls were unchanged since 1587.
