Sign for the Wiltshire Yeoman, Chirton
A Yeoman was a country man or villager. The yeoman was a trusted servant who was more than a knave but less than a squire. He probably had a small estate, such respected farmers who served in the army kept their name, becoming the Yeomanry. Some yeomen were foot soldiers and other cavalry. Yeoman in a pub name may refer to a farmer or a military man, the sign usually making it clear which is meant.
