| Description | Inscribed stone on The George pub, Wanstead, E11. The plaque was uncovered hidden inside the wall at a height of approximately 10 feet (3 metres) during renovation works in 1900, and is now displayed on the outside of the building. It reads "In Memory of ye Cherry Pey / as const 1/2 a Guiney / ye 17 of July / That day we had good cheer / I hope to do so maney a Year / R C 1752 D Terry". Its origins are uncertain; it is believed that workmen on an external scaffold stole a pie from a passing delivery and were subsequently fined half a guinea (11 shillings and sixpence, a large sum at the time), and that the plaque was hidden by these workmen to mark the spot where the theft occurred. |
