The white hart has held a prevalent place in British folklore for centuries.
The likelihood of you knowing a local ‘white hart’ pub is high, given that King Richard II made it compulsory in the 1300’s for pubs and inns to have a sign in order to identify them as official watering holes.
Many adopted the noble white hart as their sign, as it was the personal badge of the King.
The elusive creature was known for evading capture.
