Summary edit

Description
English: Sign for the White Hart, Castle Cary This sign is a combination of heraldry and history. The White Hart was on Richard II's coat of arms and he could be a belligerent and aggressive sort of chap. An innkeeper who displayed this sign was saying 'Don't burn my inn, I'm on your side'. Such was the level of toadying at this time, that the name White Hart became synonymous with inns, and people continued using it longer after Richard II was gone and it is still used today.
