Légende

No.37 Cheapside, c1883. Jeweller's and engraver's shop in the City of London. 'This house, which is at the east corner of Friday Street, occupies the site of the "Nags Head" Tavern, famous in the controversies on the validity of Anglican Orders, as being the supposed scene of the consecration of Archbishop Parker. The overhanging sign of the "Nags Head" is shown in an old engraving, dated 1639, reproduced in Wilkinson's Londina Illustrata. The sign built into the front of the house - a swan, ducally gorged and chained - is, according to Archer (Vestiges of Old London), a badge of the Bohun family.' Description by Alfred Marks.
