Braithwaite's allusions (see below) strongly suggest there was a public house named after the pinner in Wakefield itself in the 1630's. Of course this could be a case of poetic license, but given the pinder's popularity in this period it would be more surprising if there had not been a pulic house named after him in his hometown. I have assumed it was called the Pinder of Wakefield, but it may of course just as well have been named George à Greene. Presumably "Meedes" in the allusion under the heading "1638 - Braithwaite, Richard - Barnabee's Journal (5)" is "meads", and so the allusion is to the public house rather than the legendary character. | Braithwaite's allusions (see below) strongly suggest there was a public house named after the pinner in Wakefield itself in the 1630's.

Braithwaite's allusions (see below) strongly suggest there was a public house named after the pinner in Wakefield itself in the 1630's. Of course this could be a case of poetic license, but given the pinder's popularity in this period it would be more surprising if there had not been a pulic house named after him in his hometown. I have assumed it was called the Pinder of Wakefield, but it may of course just as well have been named George à Greene. Presumably "Meedes" in the allusion under the heading "1638 - Braithwaite, Richard - Barnabee's Journal (5)" is "meads", and so the allusion is to the public house rather than the legendary character.
