1759. May 22

P. 21, note 3: "Green Man, 1759 and 1762."

IRHB comments

This pub is listed in similar recognizances from 1759 and 1762 as the Green Man (see Source notes above). In all probability the vacillation between Robin Hood and the Green Man was due to the pub's sign being capable of both interpretations. We note also that a couple of other public houses figuring in the list seem to have been known under two names (see Source notes above).
