The White Hart : Chobham
Image: © Len Williams Taken: 4 Jun 2014
The White Hart, Chobham. Currently a Blubeckers Inn but appears to have been constructed from a pair of shops in approx 1500. The name "White Hart" derives from a legend of a hunter who saved King Richard II from a cornered white stag. King Richard took the emblem of the white hart as his crest and when it was decreed that all ale house should bear a sign, to help the tax authorities to identify them, many took 'The White Hart' as their title.
