"The white hart is "the emblem of a volunteer regiment, the First Hertfordshire Light Horse. It was made in 1862 for the regiment’s barracks, but a few years later (some sources says in 1868, others 1872) the regiment disbanded. Major William Holland rescued the stag and had it mounted above the window of a shop he owned, where it stayed until the shop was pulled down in 1983. Then the hart was restored and installed on this shop in 1986, where it has been ever since." information extracted from this http://englishbuildings.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/bishops-strortford-hertfordshire.html.
