The Blossoms inn was in the olden days named Bosom's inn ; and in 1522, when
Charles the Fifth visited King Henry the Eighth, that hostelry was occupied
by the emperor's servants. The great fire of 1666 destroyed all vestiges of
the original edifice. It was rebuilt, and an engraving represents the sign
as a figure of St. Lawrence, bearing the palm of martyrdom in his right
hand, and supporting a gridiron.
