Next to the Crown, proceeding westward, was a house, called MAVESONS or MABSONS, a name probably derived from the person who possessed it upwards of 300 years ago (p. 129); the east part now belongs to Mr. William Mount, but the western part is the more ancient and is of interest, the construction of the uppermost chamber in the roof being somewhat singular.
Proceeding further in the same direction, the adjoining house is the WHITE HART HOTEL. It appears to have been called MAYKYNES in the reign of King Henry VIII. , and then belonged to the Paycocke family (ante p. 129) being held of the manor of Coggeshall Hall, but the sign post belonging to it was built on the waste of the Manor of Great Coggeshall. Bufton records the death, in 1675, of Ambrose Armond, of the White Hart. The sign is generally considered to have had an heraldic origin.
Opposite the White Hart was the BLUE BOAR. Adjoining the White Hart on the west is a house which was called the TRUE-BLUE (ante, p. 131,), a sign which does not appear to exist elsewhere in Essex, at any rate it has not come under the notice of the author of The Trade Signs in Essex. The property possessed this name in 1758, when the Coggeshall Hall Manor Map was prepared. (History of Coggeshall to 1884 by George Fred Beaumont )
