Sign for the White Hart
The white hart was the favourite badge of Richard II (June 1377-September 1399) and most pubs with this name are influenced by this. But the White Hart is not always shown as the heraldic animal. He is sometimes painted realistically. Frequently, the white hart has a golden collar or a gold chain around his neck. This stems from the legend, as reported by Aristotle, that Diomedes consecrated a white hart to Diana and placed a collar of gold around its neck. The same story has been told with different casts - Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great, Charlemagne and Henry the Lion.

Mounting block, The White Hart
There is a four-step stone mounting block against front wall. For a wider view Image
These steps were an important feature in the days when horses were the common mode of transport. The ladies with their long skirts would have had great difficulty in mounting their horses (even side-saddle) without the aid of these steps.
