(Lists of people licensed to keep ale houses in Wiltshire do not usually record the signs of the inns. However, for some years during the period 1747 to 1757, signs are recorded for some parishes in the south west of the county, notably those in the hundreds of Warminster, Heytesbury, Mere, Dunworth and South Damerham. Even during the period 1747 to 1757 signs are not always consistently recorded.)
