Broadway, HALESWORTH, IP19 8QW

The Triple Plea takes its name from a popular 18th-century satirical motif which appears on prints, ceramics and so on. In it, a lawyer, a doctor and a clergyman each claim to be the others' superior, but each is revealed to be useless unless paid. A version on a satirical print in the British Museum can be seen at https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/P_J-7-43. In the version shown on the pub-sign here, the three professions contend around the bedside of a sick man, with the devil lurking behind presumably in the hope of snatching the invalid when the professionals have proved useless. The pub sign can be seen at Image and Image, and another shot of the pub at Image
