A tavern sign since the fourteenth century either as an allusion to the bird itself or to a coat of arms that featured it. In the latter role it was used by Henry VIII, Edward III, the Earls of Essex, the Vintner's Company, the Poulterer's Company and the Musician's Company.
The renewal of the license was refused in 1914, and the pub sold in 1916 with compensation being paid. In 1920 it was an 'all sorts shop'. | |||
