The Sebright Baronetcy, after which this public house appears to be named, was created in 1626 for Edward Sebright, who was High Sheriff of Worcestershire. He later fought for the Royalist cause in the Civil War. Currently the baronetcy is regarded as dormant aince 1995, as the claimant has not been able to successfully prove his succession to the title. This sign has been painted or affixed to a blocked up window, probably blocked up along with the one above because of the Window Tax which was in force from 1696 to 1851. Image
