During the reign of Elizabeth the WHITE HART was also the principal inn in the town of Saffron Walden, but it is not now known in what street the house was situated. Possibly the inn now known as the HOOPS, in King Street, was the WHITE HART of those days, as it is a very ancient structure. Boyne describes a farthing bearing the GROCERS’ ARMS, and issued by “Anne Mathews, in Safforn Walden, 1656.” Mr. H. Ecroyd Smith has ascertained, from the registers in the church, that a few years later she married John Potter of the WHITE HART, and also that they thereupon jointly issued fresh tokens, retaining her name, arms, and date on the obverse, but having a new reverse, bearing the words “John Potter,” and in the centre a _hart lodged_ with the monogram “I.^{A.} P.” over it, perhaps to indicate that they continued to carry on their two trades simultaneously. On the 25th of February, 1659, Pepys says in his _Diary_: “Mr. Blayton and I took horse, and straight to Saffron Walden, where, at the White Hart, we set up our horses, and took the master of the house [in all probability the aforesaid John Potter] to show us Audly End House.” References to this inn occur early on in the records of the Corporation of Walden. Thus, in 1627, 14s. was expended “for wine when the Earl of Sussex was at the White Hart;” in 1631, 9s. was “spent at the White Hart when we ourselves did ring for the king;” in 1643, 2s. 10d. was “payd at the White Hart when Radcliffe was taken for a Jesuit;” and in 1661, the sum of 3s. 4d. was “spent at the White Hart when the ryot was, some of the company being there.” The WHITE HART on a sign-board at Boreham is correctly and heraldically represented, but has evidently, in the mind of the artist, been associated with the deer in Boreham Park, as a view of Boreham House has been introduced in the background. The WHITE HART at Great Yeldham is a very ancient village hostel. Its windows, and its exterior generally, are quaint and antique. In front of the inn, on each side of the door, are old oaken settles, whereon the village sages debate the topics of the day. From the sign-board on the Green opposite, the white hart has long since departed. The WHITE HART in Tindal Street, *Chelmsford, has a new and large graven sign, heraldically represented, and prominently projected over the street. The WHITE HART at *Witham, too, has a large and rather grotesque sign, though it is correctly represented. It is rudely cut out of what appears to be a thin sheet of iron, and is suspended over the pavement. The WHITE HART at *Coggeshall--doubtless the existing hotel--is mentioned in _Bufton’s Diary_ in 1678.[51] It is also recorded in _Bufton’s Diary_[52] that “In April, 1682, there was y^{e} floore of a Chamber fell downey at y^{e} WHITE HART at Bocking [probably the still existing Hotel of that name], where y^{e} Justices sat and about 200 people in y^{e} roome, and one man broke his leg.” In an early number of
