Market Place And Tower From the time of its listing in the 1874 Directory, licensee Edward Wallen had changed the standard name of Board in Market Place to STAR VAULTS. By 1876, however, licensee James Cole had given it the name BODEGA - and occasionally advertised as the Star Vaults, Bodega. By 1886 these premises had become the BOADICEA.


The star was originally as religious symbol, referring to the star of Bethlehem or to the Virgin Mary, one of whose titles is 'Star of the Sea' (Stella Maris). Since 1634 a six-pointed star also appeared in the arms of the Worshipful Company of Innholders, previously the guild of Innkeepers. The star as a pub name dates from the fifteenth century.
