Star & Garter (2) - sculpture of a pig, 4-6 Warwick Street, Royal Leamington Spa
Quite what the pig is doing outside the pub isn't really clear. Possibly it's to remind people that the pub does roast dinners?

Star & Garter (3) - sign, 4-6 Warwick Street, Royal Leamington Spa
The name has its origins in an abbreviation of the name of the insignia belonging to the "Noble Order of the Garter", which is the highest heraldic order that the British monarch can bestow. The star is eight pointed, although the one in the background on this sign has five points. The name is not uncommon for pubs and inns.

Star & Garter (4) - detail, 4-6 Warwick Street, Royal Leamington Spa
The name is derived from the insignia of the "Noble Order of the Garter", which is the highest heraldic order that the British monarch can bestow. The motto "Honi soit qui mal y pense" can be translated in various ways, usually to something like "Shame on him who thinks this evil", which is the version given on the official website of the British Monarchy. At school, long ago in the 1950's, we were always given the translation "Evil to him who evil thinks".
