Featured on the sign is Hengrave Hall and standing beside it is Sir Thomas Kitson, a wealthy merchant and Sheriff of London, who had the hall built between 1525, and 1538. The Kitson heraldic arms are carved bottom centre, flanked by two Tudor roses. On the left beneath the hall is the gatehouse with an ironwork gatepost and gate surmounted with a fleur de lys. Behind Sir Thomas is a ship which carried his sister off to America before she married John Washington a direct ancestor of George Washington. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4292876
