and Hotten), an ORDNANCE ARMS, and a ROYAL ARTILLERY; whilst at Great Warley there is a HORSE ARTILLERY and a SOLDIER’S HOTEL, which seems to have been the SOLDIER’S HOPE forty years ago. At Waltham Abbey there is a VOLUNTEER; there are RIFLEMEN at Colchester and Black Notley (beer-house); at Kelvedon Hatch there is a GUARDSMAN, at Rettendon a LIFE GUARDS, and at Leyton a GRENADIER. The figure of a Grenadier, here reproduced, is taken from the _Gentleman’s Magazine_ for December, 1845 (p. 591), to which it was contributed by the late Mr. J. A. Repton, F.S.A., formerly of Springfield. A SOLDIER is represented on three different farthing tokens issued by John Allen of Braintree, one of which bears the date 1657. All bear his initials, but one has the inscription, “Turne a penny,” in the place of the name of the issuer. On these tokens the orthography is decidedly peculiar. Thus, Braintree is twice spelled “Brantre” and once “Brantry,” while Essex is twice spelled “Esex” and once “Esaxes.” Among the more miscellaneous of Human Signs we meet with a CROWN’S INN at Ongar, a FORESTER at Coggeshall, a FORESTER’S INN at Plaistow, an ANCIENT FORESTERS at Hatfield Broad Oak (all, of course, connected with the “ancient order”), three FREEMASONS’ TAVERNS, several FREEMASONS’ ARMS, a MERRY FIDDLERS at Theydon Garnon, eight examples of the CRICKETERS (against five in 1862), two of the CRICKETERS’ ARMS, a JOLLY CRICKETERS, a JOLLY FISHERMAN, a JOLLY SAILOR, a SAILOR’S RETURN, two WELCOME SAILORS, an OLD WELCOME SAILOR, a THREE TRAVELLERS (perhaps representing the three wise men from the East), and a MINERVA at Southend, which, as Mr. H. W. King has ascertained, was recently christened by its owner after a barge of the same name that he possessed. At Chigwell there has been for at least a century past a house with the sign of the THREE JOLLY WHEELERS (whatever they might be). There are TRAVELLERS’ FRIENDS at Moulsham and Woodford Wells (the former being at least forty years old), as well as a beer-house of the same name at Epping; TRAVELLERS’ RESTS at Forest Gate and Wethersfield (the latter being a beer-house); BRITANNIAS at Canning Town, Barking, Southend, and Hornchurch (beer-house); and TWO BREWERS at *Stratford, Springfield, High Ongar, and Chigwell (beer-house). This is a sign once common, but now becoming rare. They were usually represented carrying a barrel of beer between them, slung on a pole. There are WOODMEN at Halstead, Elmdon, Waltham Abbey, Stanford Rivers, Thundersley, Romford, &c., all but the first two being beer-houses. The THREE MARINERS is an odd sign which occurs at Colchester and at Moulsham (Chelmsford). At the latter place it seems to have existed for at least a century, being referred to in the _Chelmsford Chronicle_ for January 27, 1786. In the garden of the ADAM AND EVE at West Ham (p. 37) stands the remains of an old stone arch, now almost the only remaining portion of the ancient abbey of Stratford Langthorn.
